The 142-acre historic farmstead and 1850s brick farmhouse are authentically adorned with period Victorian decorations, handcrafted corn-husk angels, and cedar ropes. Family Experience & Accessibility: • Living History & Demonstrations: Costumed historical interpreters demonstrate traditional blacksmithing, tin-punching holiday lanterns, and woodstove baking. Children can watch the blacksmith craft real iron candy canes at the forge. • Horse-Drawn Wagon Rides: Families can climb aboard draft horse-drawn open wagons for an old-fashioned ride through snow-dusted pastures and illuminated light displays. • Santa in the Heated Barn: Santa greets children inside the historic heated timber barn, where families can warm up, enjoy hot apple cider and cider donuts, and view vintage tractor displays. • Accessibility: Paved and compacted gravel pathways connect all major buildings; large family restrooms with changing stations are located in the main pavilion. ## Similar picks in Baltimore - [29th Annual Festival of Wreaths: Holiday Wreath Display at the Carroll Arts Center](https://grassyknees.com/baltimore/activities/29th-annual-festival-of-wreaths-holiday-wreath-display-at-the-carroll--listing-f1d186254c6b5e760384c043) — Nov 27 – Dec 6 · 12:00 PM – 7:00 PM · Carroll Arts Center, Westminster · All ages · Free · checked Oct 30.
