SUMMARY:Explore Ferry Farm!
DESCRIPTION:Don’t miss this rare opportunity to Explore Historic Ferry Farm!  Discover the fascinating history of Ferry Farm: the historic house built in 1786 by Noadiah Bissell. The property has lived many lives. Once a tavern serving ferry passengers, the property later became South Windsor’s Town Farm.\n\nEnjoy a guided tour of the house including its notorious jail cells! Learn about daily life on the farm and try your hand at spinning wool. Then take a walk along the Connecticut River with River Steward, Ashley Lively of Connecticut River Conservancy. ( https://www.ctriver.org/staff/amber-lively )  Visitors will explore the area’s shipbuilding history and changing ecology. You will even have a chance to test your rope tying skills.\n\nAfter a hard day’s work, relax outdoors with a modern cheese plate and a tavern tidbit created by Front Porch Charcuterie, ( https://www.frontporchcharcuterie.com/ ) followed by an informal Q&A with our experts.\n\n\nThis is a very special opportunity to tour a historic, privately owned property.\n\n (The last time the house was open to the public was 2016 for a fundraising dinner.)\n\nPlease note that this is a historic building and requires the use of stairs. The walk to the Connecticut River includes an uneven path. Comfortable, sturdy footwear is recommended.\nTickets will be limited! Reserve your spot early.\n\n
