Spring at Dickson-Murst Farm
Sunday, May 3rd
10:00am — 3:00pm
The Conservation Foundation’s Dickson-Murst Farm in Montgomery is a celebration of our area’s rural heritage and a gathering place for family and friends to make memories. Visitors can get a taste of what farm life was like in bygone days at Spring at the Dickson-Murst Farm on Sunday, May 3rd from 10am to 3pm.
This free event features children’s crafts, activities and play spaces, live farm animals to observe and pet, hayrides, barrel train rides, farm demonstrations, face painting and more.  Kids can also drive a tractor again this year and earn their good driver sticker. When you need a break, sit a spell in one of the farm’s signature red rockers while you enjoy tasty vittles from the Country Kitchen. Antique trucks and tractors will be on display and all of the pristinely restored historic farm buildings will be open for exploration.
Students from the Newark Chapter of Future Farmers of America (FFA) will have their farm animals at the event and will also be selling flowering annuals and hanging baskets. The Kendall County 4-H clubs will be offering make and take craft projects and activities as well.
This event’s Presenting Sponsors are Byline Bank and ConservFS with additional support from Dickson, Francissen & Bartz LLP, Farm & Fleet Montgomery, Frank Marshall Electric, Bill Thill Builders, Chapter 2 International Harvester Collectors, Paradise Car Wash, Tripp Insurance, the Village of Montgomery, and Flick’s Hit-N-Miss. Spring at the Farm is made possible by the support of the Dickson-Murst Farm Partners, a volunteer group of The Conservation Foundation, who maintain the farm buildings and organize special events such as this to raise money through donations and food sales.
Free parking is available and the event will go on rain or shine. The Conservation Foundation’s Dickson-Murst Farm is at 2550 Dickson Rd. in Montgomery, south of Route 30 and north of Galena Road.
