Their website states, “Howell Farm is a Time Machine … a place where generations meet and share that gift we call heritage.” One visit and you’ll agree that visitors to the Howell Living History Farm experience the sights, sounds and settings of a bygone era in New Jersey when work was hard but life was simple. Listed on the National and the New Jersey State Register of Historic Places this is a picturesque site with one-hundred-thirty sprawling acres and beautiful vistas. One of the first sights past the visitor’s center is a wide, winding dirt road flanked on one side by a snake fence, so called because of its zig-zagging lines, and on the other by a wooden footbridge next to a spectacular sycamore tree. In spring baby animals abound and the lambs are delightful to watch as they lounge placidly near their mothers or frolic playfully with each other. Just as cute are the piglets who relish a good roll in the mud. There are also chickens, cows, oxen, a cattle dog named Maggie and cats. But the undisputed stars of the barnyard are the beautiful horses that do the work of plowing, pulling the carts and taking visitors for a hayride.The costumed interpreters are welcoming and informative and illustrate life on a typical day at the farm. Several programs are offered throughout the year, among them ice harvesting, maple sugaring, tree planting and cider making. Their website is a great source of information about events, the history of the property, its features and most endearingly its animals. Plan to spend the day as there’s a lot to see including old-fashioned machinery, tools and demonstrations. The Mercer County 4H Fair takes place here in July.http://www.howellfarm.org/

Great place to visit if you enjoy history, culture, and animals. Check their website for special events like sheep shearing, butter making, or barn dances. And if you live locally, they have a wonderful farm hands program for kids.

I have been here many times and have always enjoyed myself. Recently, it was maple sugaring time and we thought that to be very interesting. We love their syrup! All the animals are well taken care of and there is something calming and funny about them. The chickens make sounds like, rooooooo roooooooo! The horse sled rides and hay rides are always fun, and spring-summer is the best time to see everything. If you choose to buy a momento, get the farm grown popcorn! When it pops in the microwave the "corn" is so tiny and odd but delicious! Something you might not know is that they get cray fish in their creek and have a barn dog and cat. This old fashioned farm is cute and amazing! Come here today!

We have visited this farm three times and plan to go back. Very nice setup with the buildings and grounds. Visit the animals, take a wagon ride and get some snacks at the farm house. They often have different special events going on as well. A great way to slow down and step back in time.

We go every year to see the corn maze and visit the farm. Great family day out and they put a lot of effort into the corn maze. You have to put together puzzle pieces to build the map. Really fun

If possible, go to Howell Living History Farm on a weekday. It's far less crowded than the weekends, when there are special events going on. There are numerous farm buildings and lots of animals to see. If, like me, you like to take pictures, this is a terrific place for photography opportunities. It's just a nice, peaceful place to spend some time walking around and taking in the surroundings. There are a lot of picnic tables available for those who like to pack a lunch. I'm looking forward to more trips to the farm as the weather cools down.

Our family of four went to the farm for a maple syrup event which was fantastic! We were taken out into the trees to collect sap from the buckets, which was taken back by horse-drawn carriage. Large outdoor fires were being used to cook down the sap, and costumed Colonial characters worked the area. There was a charming gift shop with some handmade colonial goods as well. We felt like we were on a vacation in New England!

The farms corn maze is lots of fun for kids and adults. It is well organized and the staff is very nice and helpful. We would go back and have teams of friends compete for the best time.
