Living History
Take a walk back in time from the present to pre-history stopping along the way to experience 1900’s food preservation and 18th century backwoods colonization.
An Educational Experience
Age appropriate tours for elementary students with information and activities aligned with the North Carolina Standard Course of Study.
Veteran Teachers
Wayne and Riely Woosley each have a lifetime of teaching experience spanning all ages of learners. Until their recent retirement, class fieldtrips to the farm were favorite experiences of their students.
Tour Woosley Farm
Tours are hands-on experiences primarily for elementary students. Other special tours can be arranged. The 18th Century living history experiences can be combined with the activities below or brought to your school.
