Have you ever wanted to step back in time?  Dudley Farm spans 150 years and 3 generations of the Dudley's.   They lived and farmed here.  There are a total of 640 acres, with the park today spanning over 325 of those acres.  The land and buildings were donated to the state in 1983 by Myrtle Dudley. The 18 buildings are authentic and not re created.   It was very interesting.  And, you can see horses, mules, turkeys and chickens.  You can see the fields of crops.  People in period costume are there as well, helping to complete the picture.  They have several events throughout the year.
