Kids and animals…have an abundance of energy and you can see the way their young faces light up whenever kids are around animals. If you’re looking for a nice VERY GENUINE historical farm in New Jersey during your bus tour holiday, look no further than Howell Living History Farm. The scenery is amazing, the animals, the plants, the air…everything vibrates differently from what you can usually find in the city. So, after a busy day visiting all the museums and shopping malls in New Jersey, making a bus tour stop at Howell Living History Farm will be a refreshing change!
There are no cars, no motorbikes, no vans….nothing but barns, horses, and a few buggies here and there. The kids will definitely love the idea of building their own barn or if you’re lucky, you might even get to deliver a lamb during your bus tour stop here! Talk about fun things to do in New Jersey! Take a step further by trying your hand at baking your own bread at this New Jersey farm. But after playing with the animals and all that, the kids would have to lend a hand at cleaning up the place…just like any other kid back in the 1800s!
Howell Farm is a part of Mercer County and is managed by the County’s Park Commission. They have strong support from a group of people called the Friends of Howell Living History Farm. This is the kind of bus tour stop that is completely devoid of hints of modern life and your bus tour stop here will not only be fun but educational as well! Once you’re done with your stop here and is ready to head off back into modern life, get some gifts from their amazing gift shop so that you can bring home a piece of the farm with you.
