Spring is a great time to visit the farm!  With spring crops planted, you will get to experience a wagon-ride to see what is growing in the fields. Opportunities to learn about the crops that we feed our cattle and what diet it takes to keep our herd happy and healthy.  Along with the wagon-ride, there will be baby calves to pet and chicks to hold.

Usually we are bustling with a variety of baby animals to feed, hold, and pet; however, due to Covid-19 we are unable to guarantee that we will have piglets, lambs, or goat kids.  Plastic boot covers will be handed out to protect your footwear while visiting cows in the barn, but plan to dress for outdoor weather.

Annual mountain biking competition at Camrock County Park. The first day will be a ride and the second day will be a race. The trail system at CamRock is an awesome blend of wide and fast flowing single-track that runs through open fields of prairie grass, wooded single-track with bermed turns and more technical singletrack with a touch of roots and rocks. The Battle of CamRock will be fun and challenging for all levels, Citizen to Elite, with fun single-track, great downhill, feed zones and, of course, the sprint to the finish.

Open mid-May through mid-October, Saturdays (Except Holidays), 10 am to 3:00 pm

Special group tours can be arranged with a local curator.

Built in 1906, the present Historic School was once the only school in our town. It was home to eight grades as well as four high school grades. There was no gym or cafeteria. Basketball games were all played in what was known as the Park Opera House. Everyone either went home for lunch or carried a cold lunch. The beautiful Historic Gym was finally built in 1939.

   In 1991-02 a new middle school opened and the school board sought “Requests for Proposals” for the 1906 School Building. A citizens group organized to turn the former school into a museum and on March 1, 1997, the Cambridge Historic School Foundation, Inc. opened its doors to the public and later that year, the 1906 School Building was accepted and listed on the Wisconsin and National Register of Historic Places.
