adds Herald-Dispatch, Wednesday, August, 22, 2007 HUNTINGTON -- It's now planes, trains and automobiles out at Heritage Farm Museum and Village after the living history museum added its latest acquisition to the collection. A 1920s-style biplane has been added to the inside of the Transportation Museum at Heritage Farm.
"When you get older, you can get bigger toys," farm owner A. Michael Perry said. The plane was built by Steve Smith, of Dixon, W.Va., and took more than 300 hours of work and three years to complete, Perry said. The Museum at 3350 Harvey Road, Huntington, recreates turn of the century Appalachian life in restored log buildings, including a pioneer village with a blacksmith shop, antique shop, church, petting zoo, bed and breakfasts, museums, community room, old schoolhouse and more. GUIDED TOURS: Available all year 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Saturday (except for Thanksgiving, Christmas and, in the winter months, weather permitting).
Guided two-hour tours are $8 (ages 13-64); $7 senior (ages 65 and older); and $6 (ages 3-12; age 2 and younger are free). Admission for guided one-hour tour, $6; $5 senior; and $4 child. Admission for Petting Zoo/Nature Walk is $3. Groups of 15 or more qualify for special group rates when making advance reservations. DIRECTIONS: From I-64, take Exit 8 (5th Street Exit). Turn onto the I-64 Westbound access road. Travel one block to Johnstown Road and turn right onto Johnstown Road. Follow Johnstown Road approximately one mile until you come to a small grocery store. At the store, turn left and go across the bridge onto Harvey Road. Follow Harvey Road approximately 1.7 miles to the marked entrance to Heritage Farm Museum and Village.
