This sprawling farmland has been worked since 1732, when Joseph Phillips purchased 125 acres from landholder William Bryant. The
Mercer County Park Commission restored the farm to its 1900-1910 appearance, and since 1984 it has been a resource for families and groups to experience turn-of-the-century farming. A Self-Guided Tour takes about 90 minutes to inspect some thirty unique exhibits. See the Beehives with their mouseguards and pass the Round Pasture to the North Crop Fields. Horses, sheep, groundhogs, geese and ducks will be seen in the pasture, and one-third of the fields are cropped and cultivated in 1900's fashion. Continue to the Sheep Barn, Chicken House, Main Barn, Hog Pasture, Apple Orchard, Farmhouse, Ice House, and other areas to get all the sights, sounds and smells of farming the old way.
Lambertville is located on the Delaware River, northwest of Trenton.
