1850’s Settlement

Experience rural life in the 1850’s - the covered

wagon settlers arrived in, their first dwelling dug

out of the sod, a cabin, smoke house, garden and

barn. The one-room schoolhouse and country

church followed as a community developed.

1930’s Farm Site

The 1930’s farm site, complete with house,

barns, farm animals, and windmill is one of the

most popular sites. Here, each child will be able

to try their hand at milking a real live goat!

What do kids say about

Farmamerica?

• “Farmamerica was very fun. My favourite was the schoolhouse and milking the goats. I also liked the dugout and the church and the covered wagon.”

• “I loved all the animals and the 1930’s homestead.”
