All About Oxen

About this event

Step into the story of America’s agricultural past by spending a day with one of its most essential farm partners — the ox. In this hands-on, outdoor workshop (rain or shine), Conner Prairie’s agriculture team will guide you through the fascinating world of oxen, from their historic role as draft animals to the modern techniques of training and care. You’ll learn how to select, harness, and work with these powerful animals and then try your hand at driving a team of heritage breed Randall Lineback or English Longhorn oxen yourself. This immersive experience is perfect for animal enthusiasts or anyone curious about traditional farming practices. You will leave with new skills, deeper knowledge, and a unique appreciation for the strength and intelligence of these remarkable animals. Purchase Tickets Location: Featherston Barn Price: $90 Members / $100 Nonmembers | Ages 14+ (under 16 must be accompanied by an adult)
