We went to the Yankee Siege Trebuchet today, October 12, 2008 and here is my review.....
Parking: Plenty in a dirt lot or along the road.
Gate/Admissions: NONE!
Bathrooms: Port-o-potties
Cleanliness: This event is held outside in a huge field!
Store: They sell hotdogs, snacks and drinks.
Overall: Normally I do not review events. I may start now! We had a great time at this event.
They start at 1:00 PM and go until 5:00 PM. They chuck pumpkins about every 30 minutes. They are in operation only in September - October and weather permitting. The trebuchet is huge! It chucks pumpkins really far. Like 1800'! It's really cool. On top the hill there is a castle and in between chucks you can go up to the castle and check it out. It has cute little rooms inside. There is a huge gate where the kids love to explore the underground tunnel! I think everybody should check this out! It's free! Oh, and they give free wagon rides pulled by Oxen! I added a short video below to give you an idea of how this thing works!

I just wanted to thank you for putting together this blog. I am a stay at home mom to a 14 month old boy, and I am always looking for things to do. We moved to Jaffrey, NH nearly a year and half ago, so I am still learning my way around. I will make sure to bookmark your blog. Thanks!

I am a grandmother of a 2 year old boy. Your site is great! I wish someone would do CT, southern MA and RI. Keep up the good "work" or should I say play?
I live in this town and know the people who own Yankee Farmer, Yankee Siege and the Trebuchet. They are really wonderful. We are always trying to get people to come out and see it because it's so different, fun, and free! Thanks for your website, I found it through Rebecca on Monadnock Moms and Kids. I have an 11 month old and I'm always looking for things for now and the future.
