Ardenwood Historic Farm451

A visit to Ardenwood is a journey back to a prosperous, 19th-century country estate, including a beautiful mansion and its elaborate Victorian Gardens. Exhibits include agricultural practices from the 1870s to the present, demonstrating the transition from horse-powered to horsepower. Since Ardenwood is a working farm, the daily activities change from season to season. On Sundays, stop by the country kitchen and sample a cookie or a biscuit straight from the wood-burning stove to see why cooking outside always makes food taste better. Fresh picked organic vegetables are sold just inside the main gate. The stand is open daily from late May through October. Special events include an old-fashioned Independence Day celebration, fall harvest festivals, special music concerts, recreations of Victorian social events, and Ardenwood's Victorian Christmas in December.
