The Farm at Prophetstown
Open Details
For your first stop on the way home, pop into the Farm at Prophetstown to experience what farm life was like in the 1920s. The farm is fun for the whole family, offering the chance to interact with all the free range animals, tour the barn, visit a blacksmith shop, and walk through two farmhouses that act as museums offering a glimpse into family life during the time period.
You can pick up some local farm-made goods including fresh vegetables and eggs while stopping. We recommend grabbing lunch at a rest stop on your way from Prophetstown to Wabash, or pack a lunch to picnic with at your next stop.
