The Mercer County Park Commission is set to offer free Saturday evening hayrides at Howell Living History Farm on July 11, 18 and 25 from 5 to 8 p.m. The horse-drawn rides last 20 minutes, carrying visitors over the lanes of the 130-acre working farm, located at 70 Woodens Lane in Lambertville.
During the program, visitors can also take self-guided tours, picnic in the picnic area and join a marshmallow roast. Rides will leave the barnyard area every 25 minutes beginning at 5:10 p.m. with the last ride departing at 8 p.m. Rides will be given on a first-come, first-served basis to the first 200 visitors. Rides are intended for individual and family participation; groups cannot be accommodated.
A wheelchair-accessible wagon is also available. Individuals who would like to ride on this wagon should call (609) 737-3299 in advance, and ask for Kathy. The wagon is horse drawn.
On the dates when evening hayrides are offered, the farm will be closed during the day.
For more information, call the farm office at (609) 737-3299 or visit howellfarm.org.
