“Bluegrass On The Farm”

 About the Farm

Situated along Rock Creek in Derwood, Maryland, the Agricultural History Farm Park is a 410-acre complex with a farmhouse, barn, assorted farm buildings and an activity center.

Seventy acres of the farm were set aside as an historic area. The farmhouse is currently being furnished to reflect the home of an average turn-of-the-century family. Programs to interpret the typical Montgomery County, Maryland, farmer's lifestyle are ongoing. Today the Farm Park hosts seasonal festivals depicting farm life both past and present.

Other programs are scheduled by Meadowside Nature Center and the Friends of the Agricultural History Farm Park throughout the year.  One of these is the “Bluegrass On The Farm” day in mid-September.  At this event, the farm becomes a showcase for America’s mountain and rural traditional music – Bluegrass.
