💬 What Visitors Say

🕐Plan your visit for Tuesday-Saturday 10 AM-4 PM or Sunday 12 PM-4 PM when the Visitor Center and Farm Museum are open; the site is closed Mondays. Trails are accessible daily 8 AM-9 PM, so you can enjoy outdoor walks even on Mondays.

💬The preserve is completely free to visit with no admission fee, making it an excellent budget-friendly family destination. Pack a picnic lunch to enjoy at the on-site tables while observing the animals and historic areas.
💡Attend special events like Preschool Adventures, Homeschool Adventures, or guided nature hikes to enhance the educational experience with hands-on activities and expert-led interpretation of the 46-acre preserve and historic farm buildings.
