CURRENT HOURS: CLOSED FOR GENERAL SEASON; OPEN MAY 1, 2018
1900 Farm Dinners are available October-March
A horse-drawn wagon carries you to the farmhouse, where the smell of freshly baked rolls and hot cider welcomes you. Enjoy a hearty home-cooked meal by the warmth of the stove served family style by our historical interpreters.
Make room for dessert with a lantern-lit trip outside to our historic barn, built in 1889. Or stay inside and read the 1895 Montgomery Ward catalog and play a game of checkers. After dessert, bundle up for the wagon ride back to your car.
Reservations open August 1, 2018 at 10am for members and August 8, 2018 at 10am for the general public.
