The farm’s two-seater sleigh or carriage will be used for married or courtin' folk; a bobsled or wagon is reserved for families and groups. All rides are free, and are offered on a first-come, first-served basis. Hot chocolate and a hand-warming fire are among the outdoor amenities; live music and house tours will be featured inside the recently restored farmhouse. Lunch fare and valentine treats will be for sale in the Visitor Center beginning at 11 a.m. Parking and admission are free.
