The house is furnished with pieces from the period. A corn barn and stables attest to the days when men worked the land. Sheep and fowl, a field crop, and a three-season kitchen garden bring the farm to life. An accessible visitor center features exhibits and an audiovisual program. Special Programs Watch wool spun into yarn, smell aromas from open-hearth cooking, or feel wool from freshly shorn sheep when you attend any number of the site's living history programs scheduled throughout the year.
Scheduled groups get a genuine hands-on experience making butter or dipping candles for a small fee.
