For me, free admission is a huge draw. I might be very interested in taking my family to a place, but I often won't actually take them until there's a chance for free admission.

Such a chance is coming Saturday, when 19th Century Willowbrook Village in Newfield is having a free admission day.

Willowbrook, a village museum of rural life in 19th-century Maine, will be using the free day to host Old Home Day, a town festival first held in 1914.

So not only will you be able to visit the village's historic buildings, you'll be able to see antique toys, penny candy-making demonstrations, face painting and live music.

There'll be a variety of old-time games, which cost 50 cents each, including ring toss and relay races.

Normally, admission is $9 for adults and $4 for children ages 6 to 18. Now count your family members, calculate your savings and make your plans.
