Guests who visit the 17-acre L.W. Paul Historic Farm will get a sense of what it was like to live in a rural farming community during the first half of the twentieth century. The farm includes a variety of reconstructed buildings — a farmhouse, horse stables, and various outbuildings that all feature interiors that are authentic to the time period. As you tour the farm, costumed interpreters take part in activities that would have gone on back then, including cow milking, tobacco stringing, soap making, vegetable canning, and cooking. Interpreters interact with visitors and are happy to answer questions you may have about the daily workings of the farm.
During your visit, you will notice that it is a working farm. You will see the fields filled with a variety of vegetables, sugarcane, and tobacco that are periodically plowed by a mule who lives in one of the stables. The activities you see up close vary depending on what time of year you visit.
L.W. Paul Living History Farm has a gift shop with high-quality items including books, jams, toys, syrups made right on the farm, and more.
