APPLE BUTTER TIME
The Beehive at Fair Hill
| These handsome pre-Revolutionary icons stand on a hillside
near the banks of the Little Elk Creek in scenic Fair Hill, Maryland.
They are referred to locally as “The Beehive” and received this
distinction because in Colonial times the area was a beehive of
activity. The structure on the left was a private residence and the one
to the right was known as the Wallace Tavern. Another stone ruin on the
site served as a cooper shop for making barrels.
Every October the Beehive serves as the location for a festival where large copper kettles filled with apples, cider and spices are stirred over an open fire for an entire day to make this sweet preserve called apple butter. Apple Butter Time has been lithographed from an original watercolor by Geraldine McKeown. It is hand signed and numbered by the artist in a limited edition of 500 prints and 25 remarques using archival paper and light fast inks. |
