Background:

The Queens County Farm Museum is one of the longest continuously farmed sites in New York State and occupies the largest undisturbed tract of land in New York City. This 47-acre site, originally known as the Queens Farm, has produced food to feed New Yorkers for over three centuries. It exemplifies the 300-year history of farming and agriculture as a way of life in New York City.

The historic buildings, orchard, planting fields, vineyard, herb garden, and farmyard animals bring history to life and connect visitors to agriculture and the environment through the lens of history. At the center of the farm complex is the restored Adriance Farmhouse, a three-room Dutch farmhouse built in 1772. The surrounding historic area mirrors the evolution of this unique tract of land from a colonial homestead to a truck farm that served the needs of a growing city in the early twentieth century.

Owned by the New York City Department of Parks and operated by the Colonial Farmhouse Restoration Society of Bellerose, Inc., the Museum provides a wide array of learning opportunities and programs that stimulate conversation about current topics including biodiversity, nutrition, health and wellness, climate change, and the importance of preserving local history. In an ever-changing, continually developing city, and beyond, the Queens County Farm Museum remains an essential resource in the living history of New York City.
