Accokeek Foundation at Piscataway Park Reviews
This is a great historical farm and hiking area that focuses not only on the community and education of history, plants, soil, animals; but also has great water views and fairy trails! Fun all around and dog and kid friendly. For those who do not like to/can not walk far, part of the path is wheelchair/stroller friendly and there is plenty of seating in the picnic area.
It is pretty obvious that the caretaker is absent, and has been for a very long time. There is ZERO water for the sheep, one pig, and goats. There were 2 water troughs that were full of mud and liquid, definitely not considered potable for animals under their care. Almost everything is completely overgrown and unusable for the animals, with the exception of the cows roaming area. The pig was secluded due to overgrowth and has an open wound on its head and ear. And that's just the livestock. The trails are 99% unmarked, so good luck navigating your way around. The only area that is somewhat trimmed is the pathway to the tobacco barn and house. That's it. Whoever is running this place should be absolutely ashamed!
I learned a LOT about the Piscataway tribe and the lifestyle of the Indians that preceded the development of the area. The Accokeek Foundation is very educational.
The Accokeek Foundation is fantastic! They hold wonderful events like Lattes with Lambs and Winter's Eve. There's plenty to do and see here both for history buffs and nature fanatics.

Absolutely a must do for kids. The animals are widely available and while there aren't tons it gives the kiddos a gun afternoon of watching the cows eat and moo, the pigs run around and the sheep/goats wandering about. When the staff is out and about they always take time to talk to the kids and answer questions. Wide paths make it easy to navigate if you are out with your dog too.
