We loved our visit here on a beautiful Labor Day weekend. Not too busy, a plus in these times of social distancing. Had to reserve tickets and visit times online, which we were able to do as we arrived. Gorgeous trees and grounds, a great place for walking as well as learning about 19th century life in Ohio. I would come back when the leaves turn bright colors.

I haven't been to Hale Farm in over twenty years- I really don't remember anything from my past visits, other than there were animals, and it was a Williamsburg style live action of the past. Being the apocalypse, one can't expect things to be the same as they were. The lacking of animals and the decrease in actors is balanced by the dedication and care of the employees present, as well as the quiet and calm of the site. Lisa with the textiles (I believe she is actually a program director) was friendly and truly was experienced in her field. Pattie, the cow handler, the broom maker, and the young lady at the sandstone house were all very pleasant. The majority of the Farm and Village are open, but there are significantly less animals. Two Oxen (are they just cows when off work so long? Lol), a few sheep, and a flock of chickens- and we saw a wild mink by the stream near the Log Schoolhouse. Staffing seemed very short, but the propertly was extremely clean and well kept. Although the site says there is a limit to 50 visitors each hour, there were no more than 20 people there including my wife and the staff. My only complaints are that the website doesn't seem to have been updated since 2018, still saying admission is 10, when it's 12. Not unreasonable, but I do have to complain that there is a 4.95 processing fee for their ticket broker. It would be nice to be able to reserve a spot and pay in person, rather than pay another website just for doing a transaction for them. Finally, while there please check out the gift shop. A surprising amount of things are actually made on the farm by their staff.
It was ok...the scenery is pretty. Not Really anything to see...should of been cheaper considering mostly everything is shutdown
Hale Farm was the original homestead of Jonathan Hale, a Connecticut farmer who migrated to the Western Reserve in 1810. In 1973 Hale Farm was listed on the National Register of Historic Places including the Jonathan Hale Homestead. The Hale House was built in 1825.
The Hale Farm and Village is a great open place to bring the family. The staff dressed accordingly to the age of the home are very informative and get the kids involve in their talks. This please make you appreciate my “futuristic” way of leaving. :) Thank you!
