In 1998, the Mercer
County Park Commission appointed the Friends as managers of a 5
year project to restore
the 19th century barn, listed on New Jersey State and National
Registers of Historic Places. |
| The Corn Maze |

The Friends host an annual corn field
maze as the primary funding source for the Henry Phillips Barn
Restoration Project. Nearly $125,000 was raised during the first
five seasons. |
| Documentation of Farming Practices |

The New Jersey Historical Commission grants awarded
to the Friends have funded oral histories of the farm's 25 horsedrawn
field operations and will support related work in collections
