From bus trips to large history-based school field trips, we are committed to providing you with the best experience possible when visiting the homestead. However, to best serve your needs, we ask that you call 315-346-1122 or e-mail info@mennoniteheritagefarm.com at least one week in advance.
A large gravel parking lot is available to accommodate large groups, buses, and RVs. For more information, please send us an e-mail with the size of your group, your specific needs, and proposed date and time for your visit.
AMHA Hiking and Nature Trail
AMHA Hiking and Nature Trail Map (PDF)
The hiking and nature trail is in memory of Perry Steria, former board director. While he was a director, Perry expressed a desire for AMHA to have its own trail. After he died suddenly from a car accident in February 2014, his wife Beth designated a fund for the start of this trail. We are appreciative of board director Neil Keib over the past several years for leading the work and for the many volunteers who have and will continue to expand and improve the trail.
The hiking and nature trail of about 3 miles (when fully completed) was
dedicated on
Saturday, July 9, 2022, in memory of Perry Steria. Visitors
are welcome to hike the nature trail; maps are available in the gift shop and trail map station.
Some benches are available along the marked trails.
