Homeplace 1850s Working Farm and Living History Museum represents a two-generation farm. When you visit the Homeplace, you will see interpreters in period clothing going about their daily chores. You’ll find the perfect blend of artifacts, restored historic structures, and traditional seasonal activities to step you back in time to relive history before the Civil War. Even our livestock includes rare and endangered breeds. We cultivate many varieties of garden plants and field crops; most from heirloom seeds dating back before the Civil War. These heirloom seeds can be purchased in our gift shop.

Ever wondered what life was life on the frontier in the 1880's? The journey begins with museum buried underground! The entrance, museum , and gift shop are in a building covered in earthen works. The farm is spread out between historic buildings, restored and maintained. Watch out for the goats and bulls!
