Meadow Farm Museum, Glen Allen

my children were practically raised at meadow farm! The park is beautiful and the staff are so willing to let visiting families participate in any available activities. The park always has something going on that is usually free or low cost. There is something for every family member there and it is a great place for making memories together.

I'm a volunteer at the farm now, but i started off as a guest. It's completely free, and offer tours of the 1860 farm house. Very kid friendly, with horses, pigs, chickens, cows, and a flock of sheep.On special event days, visitors will get a hands-on look at farm like during the civil war. Costumed volunteers give tours, help visitors wash laundry, weave on a loom, spin wool, cook in the kitchen, harvest crops, and work in the garden. There are period games for kids. Visitors can see a blacksmith at work, and how a sheep is sheared. Down the road there is Crump Park, which offer a playground, and picnic shelters. I definitely recommend it to anyone in Richmond.

Meadow Farm Museum is one of Henrico County's greatest treasures - and it's free!! The site is beautifully maintained and the community events are a total treat. There is something to do for all ages.
