The museum is not a petting zoo.  We have livestock and poultry on exhibit to educate visitors on what type of animals would be found on a working farm in the early 1900s.   Chicken scratch is available in the visitor center for $1 per bag. Please note, there are days that the chickens are not able to roam free. Also on occasion, we offer more up-close encounters with the animals through some of our education programs, summer camp, and special events.  You can find details on these events on the Events page. For the safety of our animals and guests, only museum staff or trained animal care staff are allowed in the pens.

Yes! Picnic lunches are welcome, as are strollers and wagons.

No, for the safety of our guests and our livestock we do not allow any pets to be brought on the site.  We do allow service animals. A service animal must be under the control of its handler. Under the ADA, service animals must be harnessed, leashed, or tethered, unless the individual’s disability prevents using these devices or these devices interfere with the service animal’s safe, effective performance of tasks. In that case, the individual must maintain control of the animal through voice, signal, or other effective controls.
