About Us
Hale Farm & Village is a living history museum operated by the Western Reserve Historical Society and is within the boundaries of the Cuyahoga Valley National Park. Explore 19th century life in the Western Reserve including 32 historic structures, craft and trade demonstrations, farm animals and gardens. Our costumed interpreters will provide a look into daily life on the farm.
Hale Farm & Village depicts rural life in the Western Reserve through the experiences of three generations of Hales, from pioneer Jonathan Hale’s arrival in 1810 through the bequest of the family farm to WRHS by his great granddaughter, Clara Belle Ritchie, in 1956.
The historic structures that populate the landscape of Hale Farm & Village are used as individual venues for making the connection between people and place.
Accreditations & Credentials
In 1957, WRHS received the Jonathan Hale homestead in Bath, Ohio and now operates the 90 acres of Hale Farm & Village, a living history museum depicting life in the 19th century through agricultural practices, historic buildings and everyday craft and trade demonstrations such as glassblowing, pottery, spinning and weaving, and more.
