Ardenwood Historic Farm

The estate spans across agricultural grounds with a Victorian mansion, traditional farm buildings, formal gardens, and working fields growing seasonal crops.

George Washington Patterson constructed the initial farmhouse in 1857, naming it Ardenwood after a forest mentioned in Shakespeare's 'As You Like It'.

The farm maintains traditional agricultural methods from 1890 to 1930, demonstrating wheat harvesting, corn processing, and blacksmith operations throughout the year.

The farm welcomes visitors Tuesday through Sunday from 10 AM to 4 PM, with guided tours of the Patterson House and seasonal train rides.

The property houses 99 different bird species that nest, feed, and roost within its orchards, fields, and groves, making it a natural wildlife sanctuary.
