Make Your Child’s Next Birthday an Old-Fashioned Birthday Party at the Sikes Adobe Historic Farmstead

Kids from 6-12 will have great time dressing up and experiencing life at an historic pioneer farmhouse from the 1880’s. And while they have a great time, they’ll be learning how different things were for kids just like them over a hundred years ago. They’ll get to sample games and toys from the 1800’s, see what a child’s room was like, do chores (yes, chores!) like washing clothes in an old tin tub, learn how to make a scarecrow, and more! Older kids will enjoy becoming Junior Archaeologists for the day. There are a number of Birthday Packages available, including one with guided pony rides (at extra cost). If you don’t see the package that you want, please ask. Book your Pioneer Farmstead Birthday Party now for an experience your child won’t forget.
