The village, on Route 46 inside the Canfield Fairgrounds, offers the ambiance of pioneer days for guests at the party, which will be from 2 to 4 p.m. Sept. 26.

Guests will experience a glimpse of history while enjoying samples of herbal teas and delicacies in the garden. They can stroll the grounds and visit the historic buildings. Guests are encouraged to wear hats and gloves. A teacup and saucer will be given as a memento of the afternoon.
