Join us at the farm on the second Saturday of the month for our Dudley Kids Day. Children and adults alike, ages 5 to 65, can join in the fun! There are hands on demonstrations, crafts, old fashioned games and even some education. Learn about history, and a farming way of life.

Discover an authentic working farm owned by the Dudleys from post Civil War to mid-1940s.  Follow a park staff or docent in period clothing as they talk about the homestead consisting of eighteen restored buildings, farm animals, gardens and local history.

Weaving Workshop: Introduce your children to the art of weaving making special weaving projects geared 

for children. It's fun, and they will have something to take home. This is a child friendly workshop.

This is a great craft to share with young crafters. Yarn dolls are a perennial favorite 

with kids of all ages! If you can wrap yarn you are on your way to having a doll. Not only that, but it’ll give him or her something to play with and be proud of. And, you can make 

clothing and hair for the doll when you are done. This is a child friendly workshop.

Bring some of the delicate beauty of summer blossoms to your fall decorating by making flowers from the husks of dried corn. 

Cornhusk lends itself to many variations when it comes to making flowers. You can make a sunflower, poppy, marigold or rose 

from cornhusk. You need very simple material other than cornhusk to make flowers, most of which is present in every house. 

You can use paint or dye to make colored flowers or you use the natural color of husk. This is a child friendly workshop.

This is the nation's largest hands-on volunteer effort to improve America's public lands.  We will be re-planting some of the original Dudley plants that have disappeared. This is a special opportunity to bring these heritage plants back to the gardens. We will also remove exotic plants and clean-up trails. Groups, families and individuals are welcome. Please meet at the Visitors Center.  Dress appropriately, wear closed toe shoes, and bring work gloves, bug spray and a hand trowel or loppers. A day to give, a lifetime to enjoy!
