Spring-Fall Building Schedule

​Grounds are open daily from sunrise to sunset.
​Our buildings are open on the weekend to the public:
April through October - open on Sundays from 1:30 pm to 4:30 pm
May through September - open Saturday and Sundays from 1:30 pm to 4:30 pm.

The Farmstead is a volunteer organization, and is dependent on volunteers to keep the buildings open. Consider becoming a volunteer and spend some time in the quiet atmosphere of the 1860's on the prairie.​​
