A visit to Quiet Valley Living Historical Farm is a journey to yesteryear when family farms fed the nation. As a National Historical Site, Quiet Valley preserves an important piece of Pennsylvania’s agricultural heritage. Reenacting the lives of the German family who lived and worked the farm from the 1760s to 1913, today’s Quiet Valley residents dress in period clothing and conduct farm tours and special events that are both educational and fun.
For two weekends in May, when the farm reawakens with new life, Quiet Valley presents one of its most popular programs—Farm Animal Frolic—giving children the opportunity to see and touch baby animals.
Watch chicks hatching from their eggs and feel the velvety fur of baby bunnies. Cuddle new lambs, thick with soft, woolly fleece or watch baby piglets at play. Enjoy a wagon ride with Gunther and Wilhelm, Quiet Valley’s Clydesdale draft horses. There’s also puppet shows and storytelling along with a hay jump and so much more!
Check out the “Sheep Shed” to learn some sheep lore, watch spinning or felting, even try your hand at weaving. Games and crafts geared around wool await!
Farm Animal Frolic takes place rain or shine May 23 & 24, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. each Saturday and noon to 4 p.m. Sundays. Both weekends are filled with frolic fun! Sheep Shearing will take place the 23rd throughout most of the day.
Tickets are $8 for adults and $5 for kids ages 3-12
