As you enter the gate and travel the winding path to Tilton Farm, imagine yourself taking a step back in time - a time of peace and quiet on the open plains where the buffalo still roam. Traveling around the seven-acre quarry, prepare yourself for a journey into the days of your forefathers. View collections including authentic Civil War artifacts and a room-sized 3/4 inch scale circus.

We, at Tilton Farm, would like to share our journey into the past with you. We are now accepting party reservations for anniversary, wedding, retirement, graduation,  business meetings, class or family reunions. Call us to help plan your most unique gathering for family, friends or your company. It will surely be one to remember. We are also taking reservations for guided tours (minimum of 10 people.)

Open by reservation only, Tilton Farm is located just 9 miles southeast of Lima.
