National Colonial Farm
National Colonial Farm, Living history museum in Accokeek, US.
The National Colonial Farm spans 200 acres within Piscataway Park, featuring historical structures, gardens, and agricultural demonstrations along the Potomac River.
Founded in 1958, this farm museum was established by the Accokeek Foundation to protect the landscape viewshed from Mount Vernon across the Potomac River.
The farm maintains heritage breed livestock and implements seed saving programs to preserve heirloom crops that represent early Maryland agricultural practices.
Visitors can access the farm at 3400 Bryan Point Road, explore multiple historical buildings, and participate in guided tours with agricultural demonstrations.
The Laurel Branch farmhouse, relocated from Charles County in 1987, displays two small cater-cornered fireplaces, an uncommon architectural feature in southern Maryland.
