Historic Longstreet Farm
Historic Longstreet Farm is a picturesque living history farm located in Holmdel Park, New Jersey, offering visitors a chance to experience rural life as it was in the 1890s. The farm is named after the Longstreet family, who resided there for over two centuries. Today, it operates as an interactive museum where staff dressed in period costumes perform daily farm activities, including tending to animals, cultivating crops, and cooking with historical methods. The farm features a variety of domestic animals such as horses, cows, pigs, and chickens, which are breeds that would have been present on a late 19th-century farm. Throughout the year, Historic Longstreet Farm hosts seasonal events and educational programs that provide insights into the agricultural heritage of the region. Visitors can enjoy wagon rides, participate in old-fashioned games, and learn about the history and techniques of farming from the knowledgeable staff. The farm's serene setting and authentic representation of a bygone era make it a unique and educational destination for all ages.
