Throughout the 19th and 20th centuries, Loghurst was home to several families of farmers, each of whom placed their own special marks on the house through additions, interior renovations, and preservation.
Today, Loghurst is open to the public for tours and educational programs, and invites visitors to experience life in a turn of the 20th century farm house, surrounded by the furniture and implements of the Kyle family, the last family to live in the home. Tours of the house introduce visitors to a typical kitchen, dining room and parlor of the period, while sharing lifestyle information and stories from all the house's previous inhabitants.
Recent improvements at Loghurst have helped to recreate the original landscape of the house, severely hampered in the mid-1900's by highway construction and expansion, and the renovated carriage barn offers visitor amenities, meeting and rental space. The museum shop, also located in the carriage barn, offers a wide variety of souvenirs, including hand-crafted items from Hale Farm & Village, special Loghurst items, books on a variety of historical and preservation topics, and an assortment of children's toys from the 1800's.
