In
the rolling countryside of Richland
County, Louis Bromfield created his
dream -- Malabar Farm. Inspired by
his love of the land, Bromfield restored
the rich fertility of the farmlands
and preserved the beauty of the woodlands.
He built a 32-room country home, where
his family, friends and neighbors
could share the pleasure of life on
the farm. |

A
fifteen-site horseman's camp offers
primitive camping for horse-people
as well as family campers. Fire rings,
picnic tables, drinking water and
latrines are offered. |

Malabar's
largest event is Ohio Heritage Days.
Visitors are treated to demonstrations
from years gone by, including a civil
war encampment, living history presentations,
and craft displays by local artisans.
Be sure not to miss the annual Maple
Syrup Festival, Winter hikes, cross
country skiing, the Candle Light Christmas
tour, and stargazing events. |

Malabar
Farm reflects the agricultural tradition
of Ohio while focusing on Louis Bromfield's
life and philosophies. The 32-room
Big House, designed by Bromfield and
architect Louis Lamoreux, is a blend
of Western Reserve architectural styles
and was built to appear as if it had
been added onto over the years. Tours
of the mansion are offered year-round. |

Across
the road from Malabar Farm, be sure
to drive to the peak of Mount Jeez.
Its summit offers the most panoramic
view in all of Mohican Country - overlooking
the farmland of Malabar to the shores
of Pleasant Hill Lake. |

In
2006, Malabar Farm opened a new $1.4
million Visitor Education Center.
This 6,500-square foot facility houses
permanent displays, special exhibits,
and library materials celebrating
the achievements of Louis Bromfield.
The building's design incorporates
"green" technologies, including
wind, solar, and geothermal energy
systems. |
