Acquired in 1968, the farm consists of 144 acres of the Arnold family homestead including several original structures that remain on the site. Carriage Hill, then known as Dry Lick Reserve, was the first park acquired by the Dayton-Montgomery County Park District. Carriage Hill was established with the purpose of having not only a park, but a living historical farm.
Carriage Hill Historical Farm recreates the life of a typical conservative farm family of the 1880s. Period farming and domestic activities are demonstrated throughout the year by both staff and volunteers. The farm features a blacksmith shop, woodshop, historic house and barn. From heirloom vegetables to period breeds of animals, the late 19th century is brought to life.
No dogs are allowed on the farm.
