Our recent senior adult tour GROUP very much enjoyed this venue with dinner on the grounds pre-arranged. Miss Laura was fantastic to work with ahead of time to secure all the nitty-gritty details. Thanks for an enjoyable evening!

This little gem is a bit out of the way, but our family really enjoyed it. Very interesting and informative, about life in early Appalachia. Very friendly staff, open to conversation. Answered every question we had with a smile.

Wonderful museum!! Well worth seeing.It is difficult to describe the extent that these people have gone to create such an all encompassing historical display. There were many items that we had never seen even in other museums. We had an exceptional male tour guide.

The staff was beyond helpful and nice. They went out of their way to make sure my sister and I were well informed at every stop. It started to rain while we there quite hard and we were sitting on a porch bench waiting for the rain to let up and one of the workers went and got us an umbrella. We ate at the cafe, the the thick bologna sandwich was delicious and the service excellent. We could not have had a better day!

This is a hidden gem in Huntington. This place has plenty to see and do for kids and adults. The staff was so friendly and willing to give their historical knowledge, i was impressed. This is a great nostalgic village that really gives you a sense of the good ole days but with fun activies for the kids. We didnt get to sit down for a meal in the kitchen which looked good, but did have some excellent home made icecream. The church is beautiful and said that they hold weddings and events in there. You can also rent some of the cabins to stay in which i thought was a great idea. The petting zoo is great and the kids play area is awesome. We plan on making a day trip to Huntington for Christmas to see it all lit up.

Heritage Farm offers a kid friendly, historical journey through Appalachia. So many fun and interesting activities for the kiddos, including an entire building dedicated to arts and crafts The Maker Space, a couple playgrounds, a transportation museum, a doll museum, animals and so much more. And Christmas time here is super fun! Definitely something for the whole family to enjoy!

This place is truly a local treasure. A great family friendly place to take kids on the weekend, Heritage Farm has numerous museums, restored log cabins, a Maker Space where kids can make arts and crafts, and numerous artisans who demonstrate their crafts. Go during one of Heriage Farms Way Back Weekends, you wont be disappointed.

They appear to close earlier, but we didn’t though. When we got there, they ask for the full price with less than an hour to go. I complained about that and they offer 10% off. We didn’t go in. Didn’t seem like much from the outside, but the museums might be just fine. We are not going back.

To me there was not much to do or see. I did like the old buildings and the tractor ride was okay. The playground was okay to and my grandson who is 3 had fun on it. The duck race was different, you got to pump your own water for the ducks to swim. There wasnt many animals to see. I didnt see any reason to go back.

It is a great place to learn about how the people who settled the wv, ky, oh tri-state lived. So many well presented artifacts that spark the imagination of life in the near past. It still blows my mind to think that my fathers generation went from dirt roads and horse drawn transportation to jets and spacecraft. Great reminder of where we came from. The folks who run this are friendly and try hard not to make your visit a dry trip to a museum.

This place is great. Lots for the kids to see and do - it has a petting zoo, a please touch kids museum area, an outdoor playground, several museum buildings, a train, a cafe ... everything you can think of! Free parking! The people were super friendly and helpful as well. And on Wednesdays through the summer(at least) discounted admission and added kids activities. My daughter and I really enjoyed a Wednesday spent here and I highly recommend it for families!

Something for everyone! Lots of friendly and helpful folks there to answer your questions. Especially enjoyed the Country Store. Dont miss the Doll and Carriage Museum, something I wasnt too interested in at first; until I stopped in. All very nostalgic (soda bar, auto repair shop, etc.) with a good history of the area. Definitely, a worthwhile visit!

Very interesting museum that focuses on regional life from 1800 to 1950. Great personal tour guides that are knowledgable, friendly, and like to spend time with you. Lots of things to do, be sure to check the website to plan your day. A little something for everyone.

There is something for all ages to enjoy. Im glad I wore comfortable shoes that could go off-road. We spent many hours walking to different buildings and exhibits, and learning from well-informed and interesting staff on hand to guide us. Enjoy a very bouncy wagon ride, narrated by a wonderful host. Good jokes and riddles!Also, a nice touch was a centrally located vittles shop with reasonably priced fast foods, and a separate cafe nearby for enjoying a casual sit-down meal.Loved this peace of heaven -- go with or without children and enjoy!

We used Harvest Host program here. The farm is lovely and we met a lovely lady walking a horse in the morning on our way out. Unfortunately, our travel schedule didn’t allow us to do any tours but we were so very grateful they allowed us toCamp in their beautiful serene field! The night sky was amazing!!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!

This place was great! There was so much to see and do. If you can get Donna to be your tour guide, you will not be disappointed. She is a hoot! Our family learned a lot from her and the other staff. It was a nearly kept property and the animals were cared for and loved. Expect to be there for 2-3 hours on a nice day and don’t forget to look for delightful Donna!

Wonderful little place that is very educational. I feel the ticket prices are fair and they have a little place that you can get food if you are hungry. Its more like a home kitchen with a bar to sit at than a restaurant.

My family and I enjoyed our day. There was so much to see and do. Our guide for the covered wagon told some funny jokes. My wife and daughter thought the doll exhibit was amazing. The Artisan Cafe had good food and reasonably priced. We saw some unique animals. To cap off the day the tomahawk throw was fun. It really is a step back in time.

Our grandgirlies, ages10 and 4, had a great time and didn’t want to leave. Plenty to keep every age occupied and happy. 4 year old loved “milking” the “cow”, a cow statue that’s “milkable” for learning. Both were fascinated with the bees and loved the doll museum. There’s a playground made of the six simple machines, so they were learning while playing, too. So much to keep adults happy in the several museums. Unbelievable collections of antiques from rakes and washing machines to cars and dolls. Bed and breakfast housing scattered through the farm, too. We love it!!

I absolutely loved my experience here at Heritage Farm today! I Highly recommend it to any one person or even up to whole groups can come experience what it has been like growing up and living since the 1800s.I got to go with my niece and her school today and we spent about 3 hours, which though we got to see plenty, we didnt get to see and experience it all. What we did see and get to learn and participate in, was so uplifting, reminiscing, and down right magical that they have been able to preserve time how they have.I will be going back with my son, who is 10 and my fiance. I also heard that they decorate for Christmas and have a wonderful display for all to see. Easy to find and not to far out of the town of Huntington for it to take you as far back in time as it does.Highly recommended!!Thank you Heritage Farm Staff, for your welcoming, informing, and all around wonderful service & experience you gave us all from Barboursville Elementary Schools, Kindergarten classes and their chaperones!!

Ive been to this place twice now and its been pretty enjoyable both times. My kids loved being able to pet some of the smaller animals and the play structure here, while I enjoyed the tour of some of the museums» and the on-site blacksmith. I got to sit and chat for about twenty minutes with the smith while he worked.

Amazing living history right here in Huntington West Virginia. I can not stress enough what a wonderful and unique place this is. It not only preserves so many parts of our shared history. It builds these items into a 4 dimensional story board for us to immerse your self. The Perry family has created an amazing space. One of my favorite ways to experience Heratige Village is the first weekend in May where every inch come alive with historic re-enactments. Come interact with old time saw mills, black smiths, potters and so much more. An amazing time for the whole family.

We stayed in the Blackberry Inn. Beautiful large cabin, for our wedding anniversary. Huge master bedroom w private bath. Beautiful large ceiling beams. The upstairs loft will sleep 6 in the 3 queen beds, w 2 more baths downstairs, includes laundry room w everything you need. Given my hx of asthma, I was very pleased w only faint odor of mustiness (its a cabin!), didnt cause me any problems. Cabin was immaculate, filled w antiques and nice comforts of home. Tours of Heritage Farm n hanging out was relaxing. Perfect weather in August. Going to do it again soon!

Heritage Farm is warm, personal, and thoroughly informative. The many museums--Progress, Transportation, Heritage, the Doll museum, and the Country Store--are brimming with articles and artifacts that display the ingenuity and courage of our Appalachian ancestors. I would wager that there is no better presentation of Appalachian history anywhere! Also, the food is top notch, there is plenty of stimulating entertainment for young children and teenagers (including petting zoos, a playground, wagon rides, tomahawk throwing, and more), and the workers are kind and always willing to help. I would recommend a day at Heritage Farm to everyone!
