- Frying Pan Park : Kidwell Park
- Kidwell Farm recreates the era from 1920 to 1940. This was a time of great transition in rural America. The two decades depicted by the farm saw the advent of tractors, milking machines, mechanical bailers and other improvements in modern agriculture. But the change was gradual. So at Kidwell Farm -- like any typical farm of that era -- horses may plow the north field while a tractor tills the south.
