Howell Living History Farm
The Mercer County Park Commission operates Howell Farm as a historical site where visitors can experience the work and fun of a typical family farm of the region during the years 1890 – 1910. Open throughout the year for self-guided tours, school group visits and weekend family programs, the farm invites visitors to join in activities such as ice harvesting, maple sugaring, sheep shearing, pumpkin harvesting and dozens of hands-on activities related to actual operations. The farm’s annual calendar of events features includes monthly hayrides (or sleigh rides!), weekly craft programs for children and New Jersey’s only horse drawn plowing match. Each fall, the farm operates an elaborate corn maze as a fundraiser that supports preservation projects in the surrounding Pleasant Valley Rural Historic District.
