One of the key parts of the mission of the Overstreet-Kerr Historical Farm is preservation—of a historical home and farm buildings, antique farm equipment, heritage breeds of livestock and poultry, and heirloom varieties of fruit.

The historical farm offers workshops and educational events each year for school classes and the general public that educate visitors about farm life in eastern Oklahoma before 1940. Many workshops are hands-on, teaching attendees how to do a craft or skill once practiced on the eastern Oklahoma farmstead. Our biggest educational event of the year is Farm-Fest, held the second Friday and Saturday of October (Friday for schoolkids; Saturday, the general public).
