It’s the beginning of the summer. Are you and the kids getting restless at home? Take a trip to Frying Pan Park. Kidwell Farm is Frying Pan Park’s 1930’s working farm. Visitors have a chance to meet animals including horses, chickens, peacocks, sheep, goats, cows and more. You and your family can also take a wagon ride or visit the Kidwell Farm House and see how farm families lived in the 30’s. The park has a Country Store that sells food, books, toys and gifts.
