Local historians await guests of all ages. Schedule your visit today!
Welcome to the Philip Foster Farm on the Oregon Trail, where we turn kids into pioneers and help everyone get their hands on history.
Grounds are open dawn to dusk daily for respectful use.
We are open for drop-in guests on Saturdays May through October, but you can schedule your private tour here.
Please join us for a tour or event, or come volunteer!
Thank you for supporting this important piece of Oregon’s History!
Kids bring life to the Philip Foster Farm with many fun hands-on learning experiences. Our week long day Camps teach kids pioneer values and skills. If you are looking for a field trip, Pioneer Life Tours bring school groups for a fun-filled day on the farm. Or build your own event at the farm for a scout group, club, church, work picnic, or reunion.
People of all ages love to step back in time as they tour the Philip Foster Farm. We offer adult oriented tours for any size group. Please schedule your tours ahead of time using the links below.
