 Lake Metroparks Farmpark invites visitors to go on a journey through time and witness the evolution of agricultural technology from animal-powered farming to the thunderous muscle cars of the past during Horsepower Weekend.

Saturday will focus on agricultural field work.  Watch the progression of agricultural technology all in one field. Draft animal power to modern cabbed tractors will demonstrate a wide variety of implements.  Visitors will have the opportunity to try their hands at plowing behind one of Farmpark’s beautiful draft teams.

On both days, visitors can enjoy antique tractor displays, equipment demonstrations such as corn grinding and Farmpark’s regular weekend presentations. Take advantage of photo opportunities with Farmpark’s antique tractors and beautiful landscapes. Fall activities will be in full swing! Get lost in the corn maze, try an apple slushie or just sit and relax and enjoy the farm.

Horsepower Weekend takes over Farmpark from 9 AM–5 PM on September 28 and 29 and is included in Farmpark admission ($7 to $9).  Farmpark members, children younger than two and active military and their families receive free admission.
