In 1999, the Austerlitz Historical Society held its first
Blueberry Festival. The idea for the festival came from
a photograph taken in the 1920s of two women picking
blueberries on Harvey Mountain to help pay their
school taxes.
AHS presents this festival to revisit our heritage
and bring the community together to celebrate our
historical roots. We hope you enjoy your day.
