Relive the era of traditional tobacco farming Saturday, Sept. 6, at Duke Homestead State Historic Site in Durham during a program featuring tobacco priming, looping and curing at the barn. The program will also include a traditional tobacco auction, a tractor show, hornworm (tobacco parasite) races and even a MoonPie eating contest!

The free festival will be held from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. There will be performances by legendary blues guitar master John Dee Holeman at 12:30 p.m. and 2:30 p.m.

In addition, the site's period-costumed historical interpreters will be on hand to guide tours of the 1852 farmhouse of tobacco farmer and businessman Washington Duke.
