Hundreds of people stepped back in time during a visit to the annual Peek into the Past event on Sunday.
Originally, the one-day event started as a machinery event about 15 years ago, but now incorporates the local history all the way back to the nineteenth century.
The event brings displays and activities from yesteryear back to life.
The Redcoats - a re-enactment group of 73rd Regiment soldiers from 1815 - kept the King's peace and law with a firing demonstration.
Visitors also had the chance to try their hand at milk separating, butter churning, scarecrow making, feeding calves and plenty more.
Attendees were also invited to dress up in their best old-fashioned clothing, and our photographer snapped a few shots from the day.
