Summer at Quiet Valley is a special time when the farm is alive with the sounds and smells of the 1800s. Visitors are encouraged to speak with our staff about what life was like 150 years ago. Children especially enjoy meeting our farm animals and discovering how a child's life would have been different if they had been born almost two centuries ago!

The farm is an example of life on a self-sufficient homestead. "Family" guides in period clothing share the daily routine of a typical Pennsylvania German family and its descendants who lived at this location from 1765 to 1913. There are fourteen buildings, on the farm. We take you back in time to relive and observe the activities typical of nineteenth century farm life. The barnyard animals are here to watch, listen and touch. Learn about the role animals played in the daily life of the farm.

Please allow approximately 1 1/2 to 2 hours
to see everything.
