Hovander Homestead Park preserves the rich history of pioneer farming and offers recreational opportunities for all ages in every season.

The park encompasses nearly 350 acres, including over a mile of river frontage.

In and around the barn and farmyard is a collection of antique farm implements and old harvesting equipment. Within the massive barn is a milking parlor display adorned with some of the antique tools and equipment used at the time the Hovanders worked the farm.

From May through October Hovander hosts a variety of farm animals that become part of the authentic sights, sounds and smells of a farm.

The new Hovander River Trail Segment offers river views from the northern parking area near the boat launchto the southern end of the park near Slater Rd. The trail was completed in 2014

Hovander Homestead Park’s new playground was completed in 2012. Located adjacent to the animal contact area east of the barnyard. In keeping with its location the new playground equipment has a farm style and is a big hit with kids and parents alike.
