The two decades depicted by the farm saw the advent of tractors, milking machines, mechanical bailers and other improvements in modern agriculture. But the change was gradual. In addition to draft horses, the farm is home to chickens, peacocks, rabbits, sheep, goats, pigs, cows and other livestock common to the early farms of Fairfax County. Visitors can pet the friendly farm animals, watch the farm hands at work, enjoy a picnic or take a walk through a country setting. The farm is open 10 AM to 6 PM daily.
Groups are welcome and guided tours are available by appointment.
The house is furnished with antiques of the Federal period. Outbuildings include a kitchen, smokehouse and stone dairy. Formal and kitchen gardens complement the house. Educational programs, craft demonstrations and living history events are offered throughout the year.
