Commercial use of the Farm is prohibited. Children of all ages enjoy learning at the Farm. Older children imagine themselves back in time, while helping with farm chores such as carding wool, mixing hoecake batter, weeding in the garden, or hoeing in the fields. Toddlers take in the sights and sounds and love to splash their hands in the wash tub, watch the chickens, or gaze into the hearth fire. Children of all ages look forward to seeing the farm animals.
Most visitors spend between forty-five minutes to an hour for their visit.
On Market Fair days, visitors who see both the Fair and the Farm walk just under a mile. Farm paths are rough gravel and dirt with some hilly sections, but there are several places to stop and rest along the way. Your visit will be self guided. A brochure and map will lead you through the Farm. On your way, you will meet volunteers and staff dressed in period clothing, who portray an 18th-century farm family.
