OIiver Kelley Farm

Oliver Kelley Farm is a historical treasure located in Forest Lake, Minnesota that offers visitors a unique glimpse into rural life during the mid-19th century. This farm was established in 1850 by Oliver Kelley, who played a vital role in founding the National Grange of the Order of Patrons of Husbandry, a prominent national organization that advocated for the rights and interests of farmers during this time period.

Today, the farm is open to tourists and visitors who are interested in learning about the daily lives of early farmers and the important social and agricultural movements of the 1800s. The farm features a fully functioning farmstead with a variety of animals, including oxen, sheep, and pigs. Visitors can also explore the farmhouse and various outbuildings, such as the barn and granary, to get a better understanding of the hard work and challenges faced by early farmers.

In addition to the farm itself, there is a visitor center and educational programs and activities available for people of all ages. Visitors can participate in hands-on activities, watch live demonstrations, and learn about the history and impact of the National Grange and Oliver Kelley on the development of modern farming practices. Oliver Kelley Farm is a must-visit destination for anyone interested in understanding the roots of American agriculture and the pioneering spirit of early farmers.
