Summon the vet without hitching up the buggy?

Wash clothes without the bother of a noisy, smelly gas engine?

Till the fields without harnessing a team?

These and other experiences await visitors when Howell Farm presents its
“Back to the Future” program.

The program takes visitors beyond Howell’s 1890-1910 time period, to a
future when telephones, electric lights, automobiles and other amazing
inventions were changing the face of rural America. Planned throughout the
day are demonstrations and hands-on activities that will let visitors
experience the impact of the “modern age” on the work, play and lifestyle of
a 1940's farm family.

Highlighting the program is a tour of the Frank and Mae Wooden chicken
farm, where visitors can see a working egg sorting machine and other
features of a mid-20th century, New Jersey poultry operation. In the
fields, visitors can watch farmers plow and plant grain using restored 1940
Farmall and John Deere tractors.
