Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, Holz Farm is a historic farm park in Eagan. Visitors can experience what life was like on the farm between the Great Depression of the 1930s through the 1940s World War II era, finding educational resources, cultural experiences and historical information. Programs and events throughout the year expand on this experience. Besides visiting the historic farm portion of the park, families can find these fun activities: It was originally settled by the Holz family in 1870s and, impressively, stayed in the Holz family until 1993. The property remained in the family until 1993 with the passing of Otto and Ella Holz. Through a grassroots campaign by neighbors, the park was created. The farm offers annual festivals that families may enjoy: These include Spring and Fall Festivals and an Old Fashioned Holiday event. Expect down-on-the farm fun with a little bit of history mixed in! Find the current year line up on Eagan’s website. The farm hosts summer camps for kids to experience what life was like on a 1940s-era farm. Work with farm animals and equipment, garden and cook and can. Sign up through the City of Eagan. Related Articles:

Do you have a petting pet area
Hi Caroline. We are not associated with Holz Farm, you’ll want to follow the link at the top of this page to the City of Eagan’s site for that. However, we can answer your question. The farm does not have a petting area except sometimes during special festivals usually held in the spring and fall. It looks like both of these festivals were cancelled in 2020.
