The Madison County Historical Society is pleased to participate in the 2025 Open Farm Day. During your visit to the society’s headquarters you will be able to tour Cottage Lawn located in Oneida, an 1849 Gothic Revival Villa designed by prominent architect Alexander Jackson Davis. Cottage Lawn is preserved and operated as a historic museum. The 5,706 square foot home represents life in the Victorian period. Learn about Madison County’s heritage.
You will be able to step inside the agricultural barn to view the hop exhibit and to learn about the hop industry in New York State, including the video of “When Hop Was King” in Madison County and Central New York.
Hop glasses will be available to visitors while supplies last commemorating previous Hop Festivals held by MCHS.
Out on the lawn fresh local fruits, vegetables, and more will be available for purchase as part of the Cottage Lawn Summer Market.
