Enjoy a rare opportunity to step inside the historic General Artemas Ward House Museum Barn to view 18th and 19th century agricultural architecture. Learn about who owned the barn and why it is so big. Ward family farm tools and vehicles will be on display. Then travel to another iconic New England barn, built in 1805, located at Hyemeadow Farm. This landmark gives us a glimpse of the past and the present. Once used for farming and housing livestock, it now serves as a gathering place, woodshop and art studio.
For safety reasons: No food, beverages smoking or vaping permitted in the vehicle. Children must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. Respectful conduct is required. Reservations are being accepted on a first come first served basis. Please contact us if a cancellation is needed.
