“PLATTSBURGH — The Babbie Rural and Farm Learning Museum marked its return to operation this month after a sidelined year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Peru museum hosted its annual Harvest Weekend on Saturday and Sunday, when it allowed visitors to observe antique equipment in use, participate in pumpkin paintings and other fall activities. Leeward Babbie, the museum’s CEO, said he started the museum in 2010 as a way to preserve an older way of living.”
