Carriage Hill Farm

Carriage Hill Farm boasts a number of roomy barns filled with live farm animals—sheep, draft horses, chickens, and a mule. They also have a wood shop, blacksmith shop, machinery shed, windmill, pond, and a summer kitchen with a springhouse. I love the many rail fences on the farm, like the one in the front of this picture.

Hayloft in Big Barn

The largest barn, painted a classic red, houses the horses and sheep in the lower level, with plenty of good-smelling hay in the loft above. Just look at those thick wood rafters! And I almost forgot, there is a new, very large visitor center on one end of the farm, displaying old tools, a wagon loaded for market, period clothes and artifacts, and other things. Be sure to stop by the Country Store downstairs for their ever-popular selection of candy!
