It was a fun visit on a lovely fall day. Some animals. Period buildings and a great black smith demonstration. An old school house with an informative docent. Very friendly staff and volunteers. A lovely rural setting inside the metro area. A pumpkin patch right now, too. And the entry is free!

What a great place to visit! One of our kids came here for a field trip and said it was cool, so we sprung a surprise trip here, and we all had a great time. Very interesting living history farm set in old Littleton with plenty of animals for the kids and demonstrations for us big kids! They also have an indoor museum about the area back in the day. Best of all, it's a FREE activity! However, they do accept donations, and I seriously recommend donating. It would be a shame if something like this were to ever shut their doors.

Take a step back in time to learn about the history of Littleton. Walk through the original school house and real houses from the late 18 and early 1900's, and visit the blacksmith shop to see how they would make tools in 1903. Inside the main building you can see exhibits showing the history of Littleton and its evolution into the town it is today

There are animals to visit and look at including pigs, sheep, donkeys, chicken, goats, horses, turkeys, geese, and cats. The animals sometimes have babies that the kids love seeing and learning about. The staff and volunteers are extremely knowledgeable and friendly, making every visit educational and pleasant.

Amazing place to visit! We learned so much! The property, buildings, and the gardens are impressive. The interpreters were such a wealth of knowledge and the property is so clean!!! Absolutely recommend this place to anyone and everyone!

Our first time visiting this museum. It is a place to visit with kids. The museum inside is clean and the front desk receptionist Ms. Mary Ann is friendly. Our kids went over to talk to her about an outdoor cat we met while visiting the farm. They loved that cat so much that they were trying to see if we could adopt her if she belonged to no one ?.

We came during the summer break on Saturday afternoon and the weather was pretty hot out there (+90 degrees). We were concerned that the animals were so heated out there especially the sheep because they were all panting inside the little shade with those heavy furs.

It was truly an awesome experience. It was like stepping back in time. Great place to bring young kids.

From someone who has lived and worked on a farm, and around multiple farms, this is not how to treat farm animals, they too like to have clean and fresh hay, and clean stalls/pins. Not only feed and hay, but they like to graze throughout the day too, I’m just not quite sure they’re actually getting the care they require. The staff there were nice, and polite, the information about Littleton was interesting too, and they had quite a bit. Overall though, if you’re wanting an authentic 19th century western vibe, check out an actual farm. Most farmers would be excited people took an interest, especially a chance to show the younger generation farming/ranching.
