Hermann Farm in Hermann, Missouri, preserves agricultural and cultural heritage across 200 acres of rolling hills. The farm operates a range of guided experiences and seasonal events that highlight local history, traditional crafts, and hands-on entertainment. Visitors can attend the annual Heritage Festival — in its 3rd year — featuring a Deutsch Country Market, traditional craft demonstrations, live music, a Civil War reenactment, and family activities that showcase the farm’s past.
Regular offerings include the Grand Tram Tour of Hermann Farm, which visits historic sites such as the Teubner-Husmann house and the Rasche homestead, includes stories of mid-1800s farm life, a tasting at the on-site distillery, and close encounters with Shire horses during a comfortable covered tram ride. The carriage ride provides a peaceful 30-minute tour pulled by Black Shire Draft Horses, combining wildlife viewing and settler stories for a scenic, educational outing. For performance lovers, the Shakespeare Festival VIP Package delivers reserved seating, a pre-show cocktail reception with gourmet food by Bernie Lee, and a post-show dessert gathering with cast meet-and-greet opportunities.
Hermann Farm’s mix of historical interpretation, family-friendly programming, animal encounters, and curated hospitality experiences offers clear options for day visitors, event attendees, and theatergoers. Pricing, schedules, and booking details are available through official channels; prospective visitors should reserve spots early for festival weekends and VIP packages. Advance reservations are recommended for the Heritage Festival, Grand Tram Tour, carriage rides, and Shakespeare VIP packages to secure limited seating and timed tour slots during busy weekends and holiday periods.
