The Quiet Valley Experience

We offer a wide variety of programs and activities throughout the year exploring the agricultural cycle, livestock practices, delicious cuisine, community celebrations, social customs, and technology of a typical Pennsylvania family farm in the 19th century. We invite you to explore any of the major categories featured below and look forward to seeing you soon at Quiet Valley!
