Park Happenings

Event Details

Are you a farm kid at heart? Want to get your hands dirty for a good cause? Many hands make light work and we need more hands!

The Miller Farmstead is on the National Register of Historic Places because it represents the history of Appalachian subsistence farming. The farm features an early 20th century farmhouse and outbuildings, a (retired) horse, chickens, native and ornamental gardens, orchard, and composting operations. 

Throughout the year, we need general assistance with a variety of projects, including:

• Pruning, Planting & Weeding
• Turning Compost
• Minor Repairs to Fencing and Buildings
• Interior & Exterior Cleanup
• Painting
• Moving heavy objects
• Barn chores
• Chicken Coop Cleaning
• More!

Please come prepared for general outdoor work with sturdy shoes, plenty of water, and weather-appropriate clothing. If you'd like to help with routine maintenance at the farmstead, we'd love to have your help and we will work with you to schedule service hours at your convenience. If you have a specific relevant skill (fencing, landscape design, historic home maintenance) you'd like to offer, please let us know.
