Welcome to the old farmhouse!

Discover a home that began as a single-room log cabin.

​

Enjoy the beautiful acres of preserved farmland, walk the trail to the historic Big Shoal Cemetery and look for wildlife along the way.

​

Explore local history with new exhibits each season or see what's growing in the heirloom garden.

​

Take home sunflowers, pumpkins and sweet corn each seasonally grown on site or visit the museum's store for local gifts.
