Events & News
The Ferndale Heritage Society coordinates several annual special events throughout the year. Some of the events are in conjunction with the Old Settlers Association, the city of Ferndale, and the Ferndale Chamber of Commerce. Pioneer Park’s historic cabins are opened for public viewing during the Old Settlers Weekend (volunteer dependent) in last weekend in July. Other opportunities to view inside the log cabins are during the summer tour season (May 15 through September 15) and during the Olde Fashioned Christmas event (first weekend in December) and the following Lighted Strolls. Special tours can be arranged by contacting the society.
