Carriage Hill MetroPark

Spend a day in the 1880s at this historic farmstead where volunteers in period costumes tend the animals, plow the fields, and cook in the kitchen. The best part of this 900 acre farm is that, as part of the local park district, it's free! It's fun for the kids, and also for photographers - most of the buildings are original or restored from original plans and photos.

Newborn sheep cuddle to keep warm at this historic 1880s farmstead, where volunteers in period costumes tend the animals, plow the fields, and cook in the kitchen. We were there last month and the kids loved it.

This cow was watching over her newborn calf, peaking out from the mound of straw. The kids had a lot of fun at this historic 1880s farmstead, where volunteers in period costumes tend the animals, plow the fields, and cook in the kitchen. I'll bet with all the snow on the ground right now it's also a great spot for photography.

Popular places to visit

Just past the falls, there is a small crawl-able cave in the limestone cliff side. The cave probably goes 6-8 feet back before taking a left and heading an additional 10-12 feet. Beyond that, it gets a little narrow for my liking.
