Janeice LeonardSaw the sign & decided to check it out over the weekend. The staff was very informative on the history of the place & the reason behind the preservation. Beautiful, quiet, and easy to walk to. You could’ve taken a guided tour, but we decided to do a self tour. Loved seeing the animals and the buildings!

geneise triplettI enjoyed my visit at Horne Creek Farm. On this visit, I attended one of their special events, Christmas by Candlelight. A nice, simple dinner was served in a warm, nicely decorated visitor's center. Then, we were taken to the farmhouse where we separated into 3 different activity groups that were reminiscent of how Christmas was done back in the mid to late 1800's to early 1900s. We heard readings of Christmas stories, sang Christmas carols , and made a lovely Christmas ornament. I love the simplicity of this time period, and it was great to have a retreat from the busy tech- saturated life we have today.

John KpchrHorne Creek Living Historical Farm is a wonderful place to visit. It takes you back in time in a very authentic way. The visitor center is very helpful. The animals were a great experience for a six-year old, it was good for a child to lean about farm animals and farm life in a setting like this. He loved the big peaceful mule, the goats, the sheep, and the chickens especially, not to mention the dogs and cats! Being surrounded by state park land, this farm is very quiet and has an authentic feel of silence among the surrounding woods. It really helps you to imagine what life must have been like here over 100 years ago! Plus, there is a great display of quilts in the friendly visitor center, and there are other events during the year that are worth checking out. We love Horne Creek Farm!

Randall McCorquodaleAs I was leaving Pilot Mountain, I saw a sign for the Horne Creek Historical Farm. Curiosity got the better of me, so I went by to see what this was all about. Turned out to be exactly what the sign said. It was an old Homeplace with Barnes, Gardens, Sheep, Goats and Horses. I am glad I went by and will go again.

Brian HolidayVery interesting place. All original structures, including two seater outhouse. You really see how life was back in the day. Volunteers were all friendly and knowledgeable. They also have events, etc, so I plan on going back at some point. No cost, no tickets. Not sure if that changes during events.
