    Stopped here to see Santa and spent time checking out the exhibits after. The barn amd blacksmith shop were both really neat.

    2/3/2024: this is a good sized property and museum with over a dozen buildings. One of the barns was built ca. 1798. Come see how farm life was like in the olden times. No charge Jan-Mar. By 2:00 I think I was the only one there. I liked to see the tools and wagons. There is a smokehouse where they cured meats like my dad used to do. Very family friendly with a play area too.

    Went to this place for the 4th of July event. Parking was efficiently managed. A lot of food trucks, great music from a live band. A nice playground for kids, some farm animals. Volunteers were very nice. Went around the various buildings and was surprised what this place offers. Buildings have Self-guided tour exhibits, located in various barns and contain historic artifacts associated with rural farming. The displays interpretation highlights old agricultural and transportation technology. This is great for school tours for children and later generations to learn about farming history. Check their webpage for calendar of events. Oh, and the fireworks for the 4th is wonderful.

    Came here with my daughter for a field trip for school. We live so close but never stopped by but boy am I glad we did. I never saw the appeal but after visiting, I would visit here again. The educational tour was fantastic. The school house, the blacksmith, and the large barn were the highlights. For the kids who have no interest in the educational aspect, there is a large playground here as well. Would visit again for sure.

    This place is very interesting. Got here at 3:00 when the farmhouse tour was going on. The grounds had plenty of exhibits. Kids would love this place! Free during the winter@

    We visited the Museum a few years back to shoot video for a local tourism production. The staff were very accommodating and the location was simply beautiful! We could tell by all the smiles, laughter and conversations that visitors were really enjoying their time at the museum! The goats are super cute too!

    We attended a wine festival there and I had an amazing time. I am not much of a wine drinker but the entertainment was amazing. I have a video. It's too long go check it out on my Facebook. Search for April Baker The Realtor. It was beautiful. I will come again!

    I went to the last hour of the Food Truck Sunday Funday. I had a delicious Crab cake sandwich with Cole slaw on the side. Music there by a group whose name I've forgotten, was pretty good.

    To say we found our Dream Venue would be an understatement. The space is BEAUTIFUL and well maintained! There are many options to have the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception (we choice the Gazebo in the Rose Garden, Barn Courtyard and Reception Barn) and so many awesome areas to take photos! Sharon was fantastic to work with, offering advice and accommodating my family and I with all of our requests. Just such a breeze. The value of this place for what you get is also amazing! Included with our package were places for our Bridal Party to get dressed as well as providing tables, chairs and even the options for horesehoes! Overall, loved it and will recommend to anyone looking for a farm, rustic or country vibe. Thank you!

    We were having our car serviced in Westminster and wanted something fun to do while we waited. So we searched for a nearby place to visit and decided to visit the Carroll County Farm Museum. It turned out to be much larger and had more exhibits than we imagined. My wife grew up on a dairy farm so seeing how farming was done in the 1800's was quite interesting for both of us. We spoke to and got a great tour from Scott the curator. Thank you, Scott! All said it was a wonderful place to spend a few hours on a gorgeous day!

    Just Did a Google Search to find fireworks locations near me on the 4th of July. This place was a pleasant surprise. A decent amount of security/emergency staff appeared to be on-site. There was a $5 entry fee per car for parking. They had a Live Band performance( all sorts of great music), they had different food trucks & vendors present for food & treats. It turned out to be an Amazing fireworks display lasting around 30 minutes or so( it seemed longer). Make sure you take your own chairs or blankets for comfort. Bathroom stalls were centrally located. I would definitely return for future events.😀👍

    The Secret Garden Wine festival is held here every year, beautiful property! This is our 3rd year and we will be back next year. The property is easily accessible and great parking. Wheelchair friendly too!

    This was an event to show appreciation for all veterans. All were well represented. I volunteered for Platoon 22 and Goodwill that were providing information about services they offer that are available to veterans. Thank you Carroll County Farm Museum for sponsoring this 2nd annual event. See ya next year.
