What Is Fall Farm Fun at Fosterfields?
It is the Park Commission’s October weekend program at its historic farm. The commission’s event page lists three activities: watching apples get pressed into cider, taking a wagon ride and picking your own pumpkins, “the old-fashioned way.”
Caroline Foster lived on the property for nearly 100 years. She left it to the Park Commission in 1979, and it became New Jersey’s first designated Living Historical Farm.

Where Is Fall Farm Fun at Fosterfields, and Where Do You Park?
Where: Fosterfields Living Historical Farm, 73 Kahdena Road, Morris Township, NJ 07960 (Morristown mailing address).
Parking: The commission directs visitors to the spaces around the oval in front of the Visitor Center, the red building next to the lot. The lot has three accessible spaces. No parking fee is mentioned.
Admission begins at the Visitor Center, home to the “Driving into the 20th Century” exhibit. The farm is about a five-minute walk from there.
What Should Families Know Before Going?
Paths: Paths are dirt and gravel, and the commission says traction can be difficult in places. Front-garden grass paths can be hard on strollers and wheelchairs when wet. An ADA golf cart can help visitors get around.
Restrooms: Accessible restrooms are in the Visitor Center and at basement level in the 1915 Farmhouse.
What to bring: Dress for the weather and wear walking shoes. The commission suggests water, a hat, sunscreen and bug spray, and notes that ticks, bees and mosquitoes live on the farm.
Smoking: Smoking, including e-cigarettes, is prohibited.
What Happens If It Rains?
The Park Commission’s page for Fall Farm Fun at Fosterfields does not list a rain policy or rain dates. Check with the farm (973-326-7645) on a doubtful day.
What Else Is at the Farm?
For regular visits, the commission describes cows, sheep, goats, pigs, chickens, horses, ducks and turkeys, plus chores like butter churning and collecting eggs. The event page does not say which of these run during the October weekends.
Jonathan Ogden farmed here in the early 1770s. General Joseph Warren Revere, a grandson of Paul Revere, bought the farm in 1852 and built The Willows, a Gothic Revival home, in 1854. Charles Foster began renting in 1879, bought the estate three years later and renamed it Fosterfields. The event page does not mention Willows tours.
