MILDALE FARM
35250 W. 199th St., EDGERTON, KS
9:00 AM - 3:00 PM
The JCPRD Mildale Farm Fall Fest
Bring the family and spend the day exploring the Mildale Farm
property and enjoying a number of fall activities during this
free public event. Visitors can explore and picnic on the 158-acre
site including the 22-acre rental property as well as about
136 acres of adjacent agricultural property, all of which was
purchased by the District in 2005.
Visitors will be directed to park in the large parking lot near
Mildale Farm’s main barn which features peg construction
and a hand-laid brick floor. Nearby, they’ll find cider
and hot cocoa and a large pumpkin patch. A tractor-drawn shuttle
will take visitors to a fire circle in the south-central portion
of the Mildale site, where they can roast marshmallows and enjoy
storytelling.
There will also be guided nature walks and horse-drawn hayrides.
Catch-and-release fishing in any or all of seven ponds within
the 158-acre area will also be offered, so bring your own bait
and tackle. While District fishing permits have been waived
for this event, anglers 16 and older will still need to have
a valid Kansas fishing license.
Restrooms will be available, but the property’s two homes
and other outbuildings will not be open during this event. Remember,
no alcohol is allowed, pets must be on-leash, and vehicles must
remain on roadways.
