Parking is limited, so guests are encouraged to walk if they can. Street parking is available on Sutton Drive and Whitney Drive; there is a short walking path that goes through the woods at the end of Whitney you can take to the farmstead grounds. 

The Littell-Lord Homestead, originally built in the 18th century, remains a vital piece of Berkeley Heights’ heritage.
