Best Ranch Fort Wayne Near Me

4worldlovers: Blackstone Ranch is now officially open! Located off of Kress Road in Southwest Allen County, luxury horse boarding is just a short drive away! Covering a total of 30 beautiful acres, Blackstone Ranch carries on the legacy of Dick Freeland on the very grounds his private Arabian horse stables once stood. We are thrilled to finally open our barn and welcome the community to our one-of-a-kind ranch. Sadly, the equestrian community lost Mr. Freeland in 2013. It is our mission to continue his legacy and make him proud of the grounds he created.

Salomon Farm Park was launched in 1996 through the generous donation of land by Chris Salomon. Mr. Salomon, his daughter Lynn, and Salomon's wife Maxine had discussed and conceived, perhaps twenty years earlier, the potential of their beautiful landmark farm becoming a historic working farm and park for others to experience. With the assistance and grateful acceptance of the Fort Wayne Board of Park Commissioners and the Parks and Recreation Department, the Salomon family wishes have come true. Construction on the Wolf Family Learning Center began in 2000 and was completed in 2001. Salomon Farm Camp was introduced in the summer of 2002 and sold out in its first year, leading to the 4,000 square foot expansion of the Wolf Family Learning Center in 2018. Other recent changes at Salomon Farm Park include the Homestead dedication in 2019 and the Salomon Farm Covered Bridge in 2020.

Salomon Farm Park is a true historic gem and a perfect location for walking, biking, bird watching, photography and much more. The Salomon's established the farm in 1871, but visitors will notice the endearing 1930's theme. Stop by for a visit to admire historic buildings, relax at the wetlands, or enjoy our fully paved 1.8 mile trail around the property. Follow us on Facebook for news, updates, and announcements!

The period selected for the operating theme for Salomon Park is the 1930s. This era is a very significant watershed in farm life, as the 1930s represent a lengthy era of similar aspects of agriculture and domestic life. It also is somewhat unique to the "museum" genre as an era with great personal interest to older Americans as well as great opportunities for appeal, education, entertainment, and recreation for younger visitors.

Salomon Farm Park offers many exciting programs and classes for adults and children related to nature.

Learn more about our upcoming events and programs including cooking classes, Blacksmithing, Foraging, Salomon Farmers' Market, Concert on the Farm, Fall Harvest Fest, Handmade Homemade Sale, Summit City Music Theatre Presents A Christmas Carol, and so much MORE!
