 Slow your pace at Chippewa Nature Center’s
Homestead Farm and Log Schoolhouse as you explore
rural life in the 1870s. From Memorial Day
through Labor Day, buildings are open free of charge
from 1:30-5:00 pm
every Sunday afternoon with staff
and volunteers on hand to answer your questions, give
tours of the farm and lead a variety of hands-on
activities.
Reconstructed
buildings at the farm include a log cabin, log barn,
root cellar, tool shed, chicken coop, wagon barn and
outhouse. Kids love pumping water at the well,
exploring the vegetable and herb gardens and visiting
the cattle, sheep, pigs and chickens.
 Special offerings at the farm include workshops such
as woodstove cooking, “History for Kids” programs,
craft demonstrators and Fall Festival, a major event
held every other September. For a complete listing of
current programs, please visit the calendar
