Such a treasure! I love having Claude Moore Colonial Farm in my backyard and inside the beltway. A unique 1771 farm about the average colonial family. Walk through the farm and see chickens, turkeys, pigs and cows. You feel like you've stepped back in time. We love going to the market fairs held 3 times a year. The food is fantastic and reasonably priced. You can also enjoy alcoholic drinks at the fair. You can take in the farm and the fair in a couple of hours.

Fantastic during the spring market festival! It felt like the Renaissance festival but for families with younger kids since the scope is smaller. I was so so impressed. You pretend you're in 1771 and there are men with beer singing God save the king, the militia comes and recruits the kids to practice with them, they have a kids play area with games from the 1700s, they have an auction, and the food is so delicious, healthy, and cheap!! Most things were $2 and you could choose what you want. Like roasted asparagus or roasted olives, etc. The farm part was also very manageable and fun. It's a pretend old tobacco farm so you see how they make tobacco plus a few animals like a cow, hog, turkeys, chickens.. The volunteers are dressed up in Colonial times and answer your questions. I can't believe this is 15min from my house and I never knew about it. Im going to return for the fall market festival for sure. When the festivals start, they start at 11 but you can get there at 10 to see the farm first. Then you can get easy parking, too.

Great little period site. Feels more real than, say, Colonial Williamsburg. Small property with some live animals and crops in rotation. A couple of structures on the property to tour. Nice hiking path between the displays. We really enjoyed our time there. Our two year old liked it, too. Need a good sturdy jogging stroller for the grounds. Staff very nice and knowledgeable.

This place is awesome. The kids I was with enjoyed so much. The actors answered all the question, they are very nice, and never get out of the character.

I found this place yesterday while looking for a place to buy a colonial hat for my daughter's school project. We learned that it will only be open until this weekend because NPS has ordered it to be closed and everything removed by the 21st of December.nnWe showed up anyway, and I am so happy we did. The farm itself is closed for the winter season, but the gift shop is still open. They have so many cool things. We found replica colonial money, wooden toys like a sword, bow and arrow and sling shot. There are hand spindles and wool bags to practice spinning with. They have craft projects, jewelry, and soaps.nnI absolutely loved everything the shop had, and I am super bummed that it is closing. I wish the National Park Service would reconsider this decision because the farm is self sufficient, and it is a great opportunity for visitors to learn about colonial farm life. I feel like a valuable educational resource is being lost. ud83dude15
