Buckley Homestead, Living history farm in Lowell, Indiana, US
The Buckley Homestead spans 575 acres of land, featuring historical buildings including a century-old barn, schoolhouse, and various agricultural structures in Lake County.
Irish immigrants established this farmstead in 1853, expanding it from 79 acres to a 520-acre property that supplied milk to Chicago markets through four generations.
The farm demonstrates agricultural practices from different periods through hands-on activities, traditional crafts, and seasonal demonstrations of historical farming methods.
Visitors can access the park daily from 7 am until sunset, with a visitor center providing flush toilets and information services during regular operating hours.
The property transforms seasonally for special events, including a World War II reenactment and a Halloween celebration based on The Legend of Sleepy Hollow.
