Morningside’s Living History Farm is a ten-acre re-creation of a single-family rural holding in the year 1870. The Farm centers on the McCarroll’s, an Alachua County Irish immigrant family who built the oldest of the structures: Hogan’s Cabin. The farm includes the 1840’s cabin, 1900’s board and batten kitchen, 1880’s twin-crib barn, Half-Moon one-room school house, reproduction out-buildings, heirloom garden and field crop areas and live heritage breed farm animals. You can step into the life of an 1870’s family during special events and programs.
