Mary Hanley bequeathed her family farm to the Southern
Oregon Historical Society, which now operates it so that
young and old alike might rediscover their ties to the
land.
Buildings at the farm range in age from the 1850s to the
1950s. The top of Hanley Butte, accessible by a
footpath, offers a remarkable view of the valley, and
unique botanical gardens make Hanley Farm a very special
place to visit.
The first Saturday of each month from June through
September, the Southern Oregon Historical Society offers
Hanley Farm visitors the opportunity to experience the
history of our region through a variety of unique and
exciting hands-on programs and activities.
From wagon and miniature horse cart rides, to butter
churning and bread baking, to blacksmithing and weaving
demonstrations, to pioneer games and Native American
dances—Hanley Farm is the place to be for locals,
out-of-towners and children of all ages.
