When

From forts to farms to state parks, the property of Hayfields has taken many forms, what can we learn from each change? Rangers will be posted at Eagles Rest Trailhead with items that would have been common on the site long before it was a state park. What clothes did the farmers of the 18th and 19th century wear and why did they wear it? What did they cook and eat with? Come find out! Contact the park office (540-396-4489) for more details.
