Such a fun place to take your family and/or friends to explore the farm and park grounds to learn about its history. Just off 495/ The Beltway, the admission is free to this National Park. There are picnic table options, but be prepared to bring your own food and drinks as there are only options to fill your water bottles. We also found that the place wasn't too busy as some nearby parks, so it's nice in a sense that it doesn't feel crowded with lots of people. The park itself has a few interesting components with a historical farm that contains historic buildings from when the property was used for agricultural purposes. There's an air conditioned visitor center with a small gift shop and some interpretive exhibits for the kiddos. When we were there, there were National Park Staff present and they were happy to answer any questions about the property. There are also a few different types of farm animals (pigs,chickens, goats horses and cows to name a few) that are out and about on the property. The second interesting part is exploring the trails and seeing how the historic house connects to the land and American history. One of the trails is over a mile and provides an awesome view of the Capitol area as it goes down to Oxon Cove (which is an inlet of the Potomac River). We spent about two hours on a clear day here, but one could easily spend multiple hours checking out the trail system and property as there is lots of scenic views and history to take in. While there is shade in the trail system, id recommend bringing water and sunscreen to protect your skin. Mosquito repellent as well since you are nearby the water. Overall, would recommend this to anyone who is interested in a fun (and free!) family visit or wants to explore more of the trail systems in the local DMV area.

Cute little farm slash museum with a half mile trail through some beautiful woods. Very quiet and peaceful even despite being right next to a big highway. Went on a rainy day and there was no-one else there, though the trail was mostly mud.

Get there just before 10am so you can feed the chickens. On the weekends then do the farm tour at 1030 to feed the rest of the animals and hear the history. Great for families with young kids.

My family had a great morning at Oxon Hill Farm. Our kids enjoyed helping the Ranger feed the chickens and she was friendly and knowledgeable with all kinds of chicken facts. We also enjoyed seeing the horses, cows and pigs. We walked the trail down to the beautiful scenic views of the Potomac.

We had a fun time at this farm. It’s unexpected something like this is run by the NPS but a pleasant surprise. There’s a chicken feeding at 10am and you get a ton to feed the chickens. It was fun. There’s a walking tour of the farm at 10:30am and you get to see the goats, horses, and pigs. There’s several stamps available at the visitor center for your passport book.
