ON THE MOVE @ FOSTERFIELDS FARM

I love hands-on museums, and Fosterfields, A Living Farm, is one of the best! This looks like a great event for families and kids:
Fosterfields Living Historical Farm
Presents
ON THE MOVE Transportation Day
WHEN: Sunday, October 17, 1:00–3:30 PM
WHERE:
Fosterfields,
73 Kahdena Road, Morristown, NJ


At the turn of the 20th century, the Fosters depended on horse power and primitive motor vehicles to reach their destinations. Visit the Carriage House to see their sleigh, carriages, and wagons. In the Transportation Exhibit, enjoy the interactive exhibit and see the Fosters’ Rockaway carriage, 1922 Model “T” Ford, 1929 Hupmobile. Take a horse-drawn wagon ride and/or antique auto ride to experience the feel of early transportation! See a demonstration of side-saddle riding. Children’s crafts offered.

Admission to the farm is $6 for adults, $5 for seniors (65+), $4 for children ages 4 – 16, and $2 for children ages 2 and 3. Free for children under age 2 and Friends members with a valid membership I.D.
