Fall on the Farm

Get ready for some old-fashioned fun on the farm! Tour the mid-1800s limestone house and historic red barn, meet friendly animals in the petting zoo, and try farmstead chores like collecting eggs, washing clothes by hand, playing in the corn, and pretending to run a farmstand. You can even make butter from cream. Explore tractors and antique farm equipment up close while learning how they work.

The farm will be beautifully decorated for fall, providing plenty of photo opportunities, so don’t forget your camera. Enjoy a barnyard-themed bounce house, make-and-take crafts, live bluegrass music from Rochambeau and fun activities for all ages. Food options include tasty eats from Smokin' Z BBQ, refreshing shaved ice from Kona Ice and cold beers from Tapville Social. Plus vendors will be onsite with unique goods.

Fee: Free!
Age: All ages.
