About Ardenwood Historic Farm

Ardenwood Historic Farm, managed by the East Bay Regional Park District, recreates family farm life between 1890 and 1930 on the former Patterson estate. Staff and volunteers use restored farm machinery to involve visitors in harvesting and processing crops such as corn, wheat, and hay. The grounds include a farmyard with animals, a hay barn, an outdoor kitchen, and a working blacksmith shop. Daily activities change with the season, and seasonal train rides and guided tours of the Patterson House run on certain days.
