Queens County Farm Museum
Description
A working farm within city limits? Enjoy a taste of the country when you visit this museum, situated on the largest remaining tract of farmland in the Big Apple. Nestled within the 47-acre property are historic farm buildings, greenhouses, an orchard and herb garden, farm machinery, and goats, pigs and other animals. Open year-round, this gem of a spot hosts hayrides for the kiddies on weekends (weather permitting), and special events like wreath-making workshops, antique motorcycle and auto shows and the annual Queens County Fair. Free admission; fee for group programs and workshops.
