The Mercer County Park Commission offers free Saturday evening hayrides at Howell Farm on July 16 and 23 from 5:00 pm until 8:00 pm. The horsedrawn rides last 20 minutes and carry visitors over the lanes of the 130 acre working farm.

During the program visitors can also take self-guided tours, picnic in the pine grove, and join a marshmallow roast.

Rides leave the barnyard area every 25 minutes beginning at 5:10, with the last ride departing at 8:00. Rides are given on a first come, first served basis to the first 200 visitors. Rides are intended for individual and family participation; groups cannot be accommodated.

A wheelchair accessible wagon is also available. Individuals who would like to ride on this wagon should call 609-737-3299 in advance, and ask for Kathy. The wagon is horsedrawn.

On the dates when evening hayrides are offered, the Farm is closed during the day.
