ARDENWOOD HISTORIC FARM offers a glimpse into life on a family farm between 1890 and 1930. Step back in time as you explore the remnants of the once vast estate of George and Clara Patterson, whose family farmed the land for over 100 years, beginning in the 1850s.

Georgia's Hummingbird Photo Exhibit

The Patterson House at Ardenwood Historic Farm is proud to present a photo exhibit entitled GEORGIA'S HUMMINGBIRDS. The photographers are part of the many groups who routinely visit Ardenwood to take photos of Georgia’s magical hummingbirds. The hummingbirds seem magical as they fly in and out of the water or sit on the edge of the fountain. The photos are on display until Sunday, November 14, 2021 and are part of the regular tour of the Patterson House. Photographers include: Don Do, Michael Lee, Sharon Osberg, Hai Ta, and Mark Speaker Yuan.
