Enjoy free refreshments and live music as you wander around the Farm.

Tour the 10-room farmhouse where decorations of dried herbs, spices, flowers, nuts, cedar and pine set the scene. Guides in period dress will take you through what it was like for the family in 1850.

Singers and musicians will perform holiday melodies.

The savory scents of the season will waft from the Farmhouse kitchen filling the air as you imagine a time gone by.
