Apple n' Pork Festival: A Step Back in Time

Each year, the Apple N' Pork Festival draws tens of thousands of people to Clinton, all in search of good wholesome family fun, as well as good food. 

Joey Long, Director of the CH Moore Homestead and DeWitt County Museum, points out as you approach the Homestead grounds, you will smell the classic scents of the Apple N' Pork Festival. 

 

A favorite of the Festival, Abraham Lincoln, is back this year to give three presentations a day about the 16th President's life and how he was connected to Clinton and CH Moore. Long commends him for being humorous while maintaining historical accuracy. 

 

Long credits the well-oiled machine that is the annual Festival to all of the volunteers who set everything up and take it down. It is, and has always been, volunteers in Clinton that make the Festival an annual success. 

 

While Festival hours are 9 AM to 5 PM on both days, Long notes breakfast will be available starting at 7 AM at a few tents on the Homestead grounds.
