The Farm at Prophetstown

Located within Prophetstown State Park, the farm is a living history museum that recreates a 1920s farmstead. The farm features a replica Sears & Roebuck farmhouse and an authentic Tenant House from Lafayette, Indiana. The farmstead includes a red barn, corn crib, milk house, chicken coops, blacksmith shop, and machine shed, all reflecting the agricultural landscape of the 1920s. The farm also serves as a sanctuary for horses from the Indiana Horse Rescue.

The farm collaborates with local farmers to plant, grow, and harvest grains, hay, and straw for their animals. They focus on breeds commonly found in the 1920s, including Standardbred horses, miniature horses, heritage and endangered chicken breeds, Hereford cattle, Oxford/Suffolk cross sheep, and Berkshire hogs. The farm emphasizes sustainable agriculture, gardening, canning, farm-to-table cooking, blacksmithing, and homesteading arts. They draw on expertise from beekeepers, master gardeners, farm professionals, and home economics experts to educate visitors.

Visitors can enjoy free admission to most programming with state park entry. A $55 farm membership offers free park entry, a 10% discount on meat, eggs, and produce, and early reservation opportunities for farm-to-table dinners. The farm also features a variety of structures and artifacts from the 1920s, providing a rich, immersive experience for all who visit.
