The best camping near Oxon Cove Park & Oxon Hill Farm guide

Overview

About

This sample of farm life gives you an idea of rural Colonial life in Maryland. It's a living farm that demonstrates how colonists worked the land and built a nation.

Hands-on programs let you get up close and personal with chickens, cows, and horses. Learn how to milk a cow the old-fashioned way. Feed chickens and watch them gobble up the corn. Take a wagon ride around the grounds. Other animals to see here include are sheep, pigs, and goats. By the time you leave, you'll know how eggs, bacon, and sweaters are made.

Antique farm equipment shows you just how easy humans have it today. Plowing a field meant hitching horses to a wood-and-metal contraption. Mowing the grass had to be done by hand with a scythe. You could also turn the cows loose in your yard, but then you have to avoid cow patties.

Park Rangers show you how it's done at any time of year. You'll be ready to start your own farm when you get home. If not, you at least have a deeper appreciation of how colonists worked the land. This plantation was also a wartime hospital at one time.
