"I used to work here. "

I worked here as a volunteer in high school. It is a cute little farm. There are many animals to see as well as a good history lesson in how farms used to be run. This is a great day trip. The kids will love it. Expect to get dirty if you go and bring your own snacks.

"Fun with the Family"

This living history museum re-creates tenant farm life in the 1770s. The one hundred acres of land are tilled, planted, and cultivated by hand by folks who dress and talk the way tenant farmers did over 200 years ago. Visitors are welcome to help with farm chores, such as carding wool, weeding gardens, or hoeing the fields, as well as helping the farmer’s wife mix hoecake batter or prepare vegetables. Children will see the usual assortment of farm animals, including dogs, cats, and horses. There are festivals in the spring, summer, and fall.
