Movie Night on the Barn at Historic Eidem Farm

Step back in time and enjoy fun at Historic Eidem Farm including a kids movie on the barn!! Then grown-ups can have a night of their own later in the month.

Anyone else feel like they’re trying to squeeze the last few drops out of summertime as school starts? Yes, you can always go to the pool, but sometimes you need a change of pace and just need to step back to a slower time.

Historic Eidem Farm in Brooklyn Park is a living history site that highlights life on the farm during the 1905-1920 era. When you visit, you’ll experience farm life and explore nature on their 19-acre site.

To kick off Labor Day weekend, they have a special Kids Movie on the Barn event!

We’re a fan of The Eidem Farm free events! When my family visited for Story Time last year, there were chairs and large blankets set out at the porch where people could sit, but you can also bring your own and even pack a picnic to enjoy.

Afterward, we explored the farm for a little while. We fed the goats in the barn, clucked at the chickens, colored some pictures in the schoolhouse, and even pumped water from the well to water the flowers. My 4-year-old’s favorite part was definitely riding on the toy tractors.

For movie night, you can check out the farm FIRST and they’ll also be offering a kids art activity. Bring your own snacks and food or order from La Cocina food truck on site.

Once the sun begins to set they’ll put the movie on the big screen for everyone to enjoy. Bring your blankets or lawn chairs.

There’s also an upcoming event for grown-ups! September 16th is movie night and happy hour, featuring the 2008 hit Twilight!

La Cocina food truck will be back along with Heavy Rotation Brewing offering drinks and food. This is a free event, come early and enjoy the farm, play yard games, and then settle in for the movie at dusk.

Historic Eidem Farm also hosts special events throughout the year. The farm is located at 4345 101st Ave N in Brooklyn Park.
