- Meet local demonstrators and find out what important craft or skill was needed to live on a farm.
- Do chores the old fashion the old fashion way – washing laundry, plowing a field, feeding the chickens, and milking Buttermilk the Cow (mechanical milking machine).
- Try your hand at fair games.
- Meet the farm animals: pigs, goats, sheep, ducks, turkeys, and Poncho the donkey!
- Ride the wagon around the 4-acre farm
Activities open from 10am-12pm. Farm open until 1pm. Bring a lunch and enjoy a picnic on the farm!

Field Trips
Reservations for 2026-2027 will open August 12
The HERITAGE FARMSTEAD MUSEUM offers guided tours for homeschool groups, focusing on agricultural history during the period of 1891-1936.
Tours start at 10am and last approximately 90 minutes. Our tours are docent-led, to allow students to maximize their learning and have the opportunity to ask questions of a trained volunteer or staff member. Teachers/parent chaperones are essential to support this experience.
There is a 40-student minimum in order to schedule a guided field trip. Maximum of 100 students per day.
Advanced registration is required, and payment must be received prior to your visit. Complete the Field Trip Request Form below. Opens August 12.
Tours are from 10am-11:30pm. Schools depart by 12:30pm.
Pack your lunches and have a picnic after your tour. Wheeled coolers are recommended. Picnic tables are available first come, first serve. We currently have 15 tables on the farm.
