Johnny Appleseed Day is always a fun time for everyone to experience a landscape that has some time ago disappeared. Dairy farms similar to the Bruentrup Farm were a common sight in most of Ramsey County, and now this farm is the only complete set of dairy farm buildings remaining. Come join us in experiencing this brief time on our historical 120 year old farm and see the exhibits of various times in the life of this farm, along with “hands on” experience of milking a cow, feeding farm animals, riding on the wagon pulled by a tractor out onto the prairie (pasture as it used to be called), and much more.

Thanks for the comment, Carolyn!
I agree that this is a fun way for kids to experience the things done at farms back in the old days.
