About this adventure

Historic Oak View County Park is a 105-acre national historic site that perfectly preserves the appearance of 19th-century North Carolina farm life. This weekend, the farm opens its classic manor and livestock visits to families. Children can observe and feed the lively and adorable Oak View Goats up close, watch free-range farm poultry, and learn about agricultural history in the 1800s Cotton Gin House. The park also features a special scavenger hunt activity, where children can run on the farm's lawns and complete a nature observation booklet. The park's pathways are compacted soil and grass paths, easily navigable by regular lightweight strollers and all-terrain buggies. The main visitor center has clean and hygienic accessible family restrooms and changing tables, and ample wooden picnic shelters are available under the shade of trees. Suitable for children ages 1 to 10 and their families.
