About Wheeler Historic Farm
Wheeler Historic Farm is an interactive working farm. Visitors can milk cows, view farm animals, and learn about the buildings and machines that made this 19th century farm run. Plenty of picnic tables are available if you choose to bring lunch or dinner.
Children enjoy checking out the horses, cows, sheep, chickens, and rabbits at the animal pens. The Farm Machinery Exhibit Building showcases the equipment that Henry Wheeler used to run his farm. East of the entrance are many easy trails to wander where you can see ponds, wetlands, and beautiful flowers. The paths are loose gravel, so if you plan on bringing a stroller, opt for a sturdy one. Dogs are allowed on leash only.
Farm Activities: Ever wanted to milk a cow? Here's your chance! Monday through Saturday at 5pm at the Dairy Barn & Milking Parlor, two cows are ready for milking. Wagon rides leave every 30 minutes from 10am to 5:30pm. Farmhouse tours run every hour on the hour from 10am-4pm.
The General Store sells ride tokens, gifts, snacks, and souvenirs. It is open 11am-4pm Monday through Saturday, weather permitting. Prices at the store are modest.
Kids can celebrate their birthdays at Wheeler Farm. Parties include wagon rides for up to 12 children and four adults, a t-shirt for the birthday child, 12 bags of duck food to feed the ducks, and a party favor bag (treats and a small toy) for up to 12 children. Food is not provided by Wheeler Farm, but you are welcome to bring your own. See the website for a list of party times. Full payment is required at time of booking.
Wheeler Farm offers summer day camps from early June through late August for kids ages six to 12. Camps include visits with the animals, gardening, farm chores, wood carving, nature walks, historic arts & crafts, games, stories, and wagon rides. Space is limited, so call ahead to sign up.
For groups who want to camp overnight, but don't want to get too far away from the comforts of home, Wheeler Farm has camp sites available in its backwoods. Up to 200 people can camp at a time. Cost varies depending on how big the group is. Check the website for camping rules and regulations, and for details on reserving a date and pricing.

- This is the best free activity for toddlers/preschoolers! My 4 year old and 1 1/2 year old love seeing all the farm animals (cows, horses, rabbits, sheep, pigs, chickens, turkeys, etc.) and feeding the ducks.
[Submitted by KT4/23/09 - We've been taking our pre-schoolers to Wheeler Farm for a couple years now. We go almost every weekend, all through the year and really enjoy watching the seasons change on the farm. It's a great place to let the kids run around, feed the ducks, interact with animals. The seasonal activities they have are great - especially the Christmas hayrides - and the cost is nominal - normally $1-2 per activity. Entrance is free so you can go for a few minutes or a few hours and not worry. Bring bread to feed the ducks.
[Submitted by SLC Mom 24/23/09 - My toddler son loves looking at ducks and viewing all farm animals. First time this spring we saw baby lambs, just born that day! And later, we got interviewed by fox about NOT buying farm animals for easter presents. What a great farm!
