Living History Farms welcomes dogs to the museum any day of the season, and we’d love to see dogs and owners this Saturday! Bring your well-behaved pup to take a tractor cart ride over to the west side of the museum, walk the trail and visit each of our three working farm sites, and enjoy fun canine-themed activities in the 1876 Town of Walnut Hill!
