Queens County Farm Museum

Learn About the Farm Queens County Farm Museum dates back to 1697 ; it occupies New York City's largest remaining tract of undisturbed farmland, and is the only working historical farm in the city. The farm encompasses a 47-acre parcel that is the longest continuously farmed site in New York State. The site includes historic farm buildings, a greenhouse complex, livestock, farm vehicles and implements, planting fields, an orchard, and an herb garden.. The farm is owned by the New York City Department of Parks, operated by the Colonial Farmhouse Restoration Society of Bellerose, Inc and is a member of the Historic House Trust of New York City. Our farm animals and tranquil agrarian environment provide the opportunity to leave the hectic daily pace behind for an enjoyable visit to a farm without leaving the city. The Farm Museum is open daily year-round from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. From Monday - Friday you can stroll around the farm to see our fields, livestock, vineyard, and farm implements. You may also purchase animal feed in the museum gift shop to feed our goats. On Saturdays and Sunday we provide free guided tours of the historic farmhouse, and hayrides at $2 per person ( weather permitting from April through October ). General admission is free except on special-event days ( please view our calendar of events for a listing of paid admission dates ).
