Hyde Farm offers tours of the farm every 2nd Saturday of the month at 10 am and 11 am and registration is required. The tour offers a unique glimpse into agricultural history where guests can explore its 135 acres of natural beauty and historical significance. Visitors can expect to see features dating back to 1840, including terraced fields and the original homestead. The tour also highlights a pond stocked with fish and a variety of wildlife.
From time to time, there are also several different walking tours including a Nature Walk and a Full Moon Hike. The seasonal Nature Walk Tour allows visitors to explore the natural surroundings, plants, and signs of wildlife on the trails of Hyde Farm Park. The Full Moon Hike allows visitors to experience Hyde Farm Park after dark under the light of the full moon.
Tours last between 45 minutes and 2 hours depending on the program, and usually start near the red gate at the end of the parking lot. Be sure to dress for the weather, bring shoes for hiking, and some water and any other hiking essentials you may need.
