When I was a child we used to visit my cousins the Kidwell's at their farm in Herndon, Fairfax County, Virginia. It was fun! Years later it was donated to the Fairfax County Park Authority and is a work farm and tourist attraction. It is now known as Kidwell Farm-Frying Pan Park. Have you been there or read about it?
