The park is open for guided tours, field trips, and outreach programs. "When people can come and have a really exciting experience at an historic farm right in the middle of the city," Gengenbach explained. Four Mile Historic Park also hosts a series of community events including the Family Egg Hunt, Bright Nights light display, and a Pumpkin Festival in the fall. In addition to all the fun activities at the Family Egg Hunt, the artisan market will open for a fun shopping experience. "You can go to the market and get some really wonderful hand made gifts. If the Easter Bunny needs some help, we have some Easter baskets that are premade and really beautiful. Plus food trucks, we have barbeque coming. We've got coffee for the parents and family members that need a little pick-me-up in the morning," Gengenbach added.
