Visiting Harriton House & Park
The Harriton Preserve is the area between the open meadow below Harriton House and Harriton Road. Part of Harriton Park, the Preserve is supported and administered by the Friends of the Harriton Preserve.
Our Farm Animals
While visiting the farmyard, please treat Harriton’s animals with kindness as you would your own pets. We recommend using hand sanitizer after feeding or petting the animals. A sanitizer station can be found at the barn where it meets the main pasture. If the dispenser is empty, please alert a staff member.
