Farming Today
at Historic Wheeler farm
Today Wheeler Historic Farm is a representation of
20th century farming. The purpose of the farm is to provide demonstrations
of the past for the present generation. The farm no longer is a
large-scale producer of crops, milk, and ice, but produces on a small
scale to provide examples of what farming was like in the early
1900’s. Throughout the farm one will encounter small gardens,
a pumpkin patch (that provides pumpkins for the Scarecrow Masquerade),
a corn patch, and orchards.
Wheeler Historic Farm is also an educational facility.
Granite School District is home of the Agriculture class that is
held at Wheeler Historic Farm. High School students enrolled in
this course use the farm as their classroom to learn modern farming
techniques. For more information about this class, please contact
Granite School District.
