The Evening Historic Farm Trails Hike with Smith Farm Goat Sanctuary is a guided outdoor walk where participants explore wooded trails alongside friendly rescue goats. Led in partnership with the Terrible Creek Society, this evening stroll combines local history with animal interaction as the sun begins to set. Tickets cost $24 per person, and children must be accompanied by an adult. The terrain is natural and unpaved, so leave the strollers at home and opt for sturdy closed-toe shoes. Since the hike takes place in the woods at dusk, packing bug spray and water bottles is highly recommended. This event makes a great Sunday evening outing because it gets kids moving outdoors without the midday heat. Walking a goat on a leash keeps younger hikers motivated and moving along the trail without the usual complaints.
