STELLWAGEN COMMUNITY GARDEN

Around 1859, Mathias and Margareth Stellwagen settled on two 80-acre parcels in Orland Township, laying the foundation for both a thriving farm and their growing family. Over time, this land became what we now know as Stellwagen Farm. While the farm itself has changed in size, the property carries more than 165 years of rich history. Join us for a special weekend of free guided tours led by direct descendants of the Stellwagen family for a meaningful glimpse into the everyday lives of the families who helped shape the nation at the local level. This is a rare opportunity to explore the grounds, hear firsthand stories passed down through generations and connect with a piece of history in celebration of our country’s 250th anniversary.

Look in the Winter/Spring 2027 Program Guide for details. This gardening space will provide raised 10’ x 4’ gardening beds and soil for the community to rent and grow vegetables and flowers each year. You will provide your own seeds, fertilizer, gardening tools and watering can (water is accessible from a pump near the entrance of the farm). All beds will be in full sunlight.
