Woolsey Historic Farmstead and Wet Prairie includes a house, farmland and outbuildings on Broyles Avenue.
The farm was established during the 1830s by the Matilda and Samuel Woolsey family and continued in agricultural use by the Broyles family until the late 20th century when the city of Fayetteville purchased the property as part of a larger tract for the city’s west-side water treatment plant.
Based on tree-ring dating of the building materials, the old farmhouse on the property appears to have been built about 1842 based on the youngest beams in the house.
In the latter 2010s and 2020s, the city restored the farmhouse to its original look with plans for eventual tours and education about early agricultural practices in Fayetteville.
