History or Educational Activities
Colonial Farmstead is an 18th century living history farm that showcases agricultural and domestic skills during a rapidly changing colonial America. We welcome volunteers to visit the interpretive activities happening throughout the day that can range from hearth cooking and weaving to blacksmithing. The 112 acre farm includes a historic farmhouse and outbuildings, crop fields and garden, and heritage breed animals.
Should I bring any tools or supplies?
We encourage volunteers to wear clothing comfortable for outdoor work and bring work gloves.
Is there a rain date?
In the instance of inclement weather, Park Day will be moved to May 3, 2025.
