A living history farm with goats and ponies and an example of the way farm families lived in the early 1900s? Yes, please. You can find just such a place at Arkansas Frontier Farm, along with a whole host of activities and attractions that will make you feel just like a kid again.
Arkansas Frontier Farm is located at 1625 Wesley Chapel Road in Quitman.
Part of the reason the frontier farm will make you feel like a kid again is because it was created by teachers to educate young people about the history of agriculture in Arkansas.
The farm is open from Monday to Saturday, but you may want to call before you go. Saturday is family day.
To complete the educational theme, they have a one room schoolhouse on the premises.
If hayrides are your thing, they’ve got those too.
You can also dig for dinosaurs and mine for treasure.
In fact, they’ve got all kinds of outdoor activities.
The farm isn’t only themed after the history of European settlement in the Natural State, they also have a Native American village where you can learn about the history of the first settlers in the region.
If you were to sing a rousing chorus of Old MacDonald Had A Farm about the Arkansas Frontier Farm, you’d have an interesting assortment of animals, including ducks...
...and goats...
...and bunnies...
...and burros...
...and ponies and llamas.
One thing is for sure: this frontier farm will make you feel like singing your favorite childhood songs, because it’s going to transport you back to the wonder of childhood.
