The Oliver Kelley Farm is about to celebrate the official Grand Opening of their newest facilities, including the beautiful new visitor center, Learning Kitchen, outdoor exhibits, animal barn, modern gardens and cropland and more. Guest chef demos, planting a seed cup or making a vinaigrette to take home, playing 19th-century games, enjoying live music and food, and more farm-sized fun will all be part of the event.
Become a Grand Opening volunteer! Invite your friends to join you as a volunteer for the day. Meet new people, get a t-shirt, and provide great customer service during half-day shifts on Saturday, May 6 or Sunday, May 7.

About OLIVER KELLEY FARM
Location:
15788 Kelley Farm Rd., Elk River, MN 55330, US
Mission Statement
The Oliver Kelley Farm engages and strengthens our communities by connecting visitors with the changing story of Minnesota Agriculture. We are a part of the Minnesota Historical Society, whose mission is: Using the Power of History to Transform Lives: Preserving - Sharing - Connecting. The Oliver Kelley Farm is also a National Historic Landmark. We began interpretation in 1981 at the historic site. During the early 2000’s we were in danger of being closed. But our resources in the community and the state came through and within the last two years, we have gone through a major revitalization project adding new spaces and programming. We strive to provide hands-on activities for all visitors and to attain consistently high levels of customer satisfaction.
Description
The Oliver Kelley Farm tells the story of the Kelley Family and Minnesota’s agriculture-past, present and future-to nurture an understanding of where our food comes from and agriculture’s impact on our world. We accomplish this by providing engaging experiences that enable visitors to understand and learn in ways that enrich their present lives and help them shape a better future.
We have hours we are open to public visitors and conduct numerous educational tours. We seek to assist people in discovering their history and the history of their communities by providing an authentic working farm.
