From the 14-room farmhouse to the fertile fields and busy barnyard, Longstreet Farm at Holmdel Park is a restored "living history" slice of Monmouth County's late 19th century agricultural heritage. This is a working farm where historical interpreters in 1890's dress plow the fields, feed the animals, and keep the house as it was in the 1890's. Included as part of the year-round activities at Longstreet Farm are summer camps and story telling for children; blacksmithing, threshing and quilting demonstrations for all ages; and tours of the buildings and barnyard animals.
