Visit the 1800 Farm at the BRIM

The Blue Ridge Farm Museum brings the region’s past to life through a recreated 1800 Virginia farmstead and offers a glimpse into the everyday lives of the people who called the Blue Ridge home more than two centuries ago.

​

Walk through the log farmhouse and kitchen, explore the barn, blacksmith shop, and gardens, and discover the skills and traditions that kept a farm and a family going. The Farm tells the story of a time when much of what people needed was grown, raised, built, or made by hand.

​

Beyond an amazing collection of historic buildings to explore, the Farm is a place to experience Blue Ridge folk heritage firsthand. Through living-history demonstrations, special programs, and hands-on experiences, the traditions preserved by the Blue Ridge Institute and Museum become something you can see, hear, and experience for yourself.
