On September 18 , 2021 , the Kiwanis Club of Mountain View and the City of Mountain View sponsored the third annual Harvest History Festival at Heritage Park . The festival showcased Immigrant House , a classic windmill , and “ Greenie ,” Mountain View ’ s 1957 Chevy ranch truck . It also featured garden tours , canning demonstrations , live bluegrass music , bubble entertainment , and a puppet show .
The purpose of the Harvest History Festival is to educate the community about Mountain View ’ s historical agrarian past , and to introduce folks to the community of nonprofit organizations that support the history and natural environment of our area . Many thanks to our MVHA volunteers , who turned out to help with the event !
