Discover Fogelsville: Farms, Parks, and History

Farm Visits and Seasonal Growing

At Red Sol Farm in Fogelsville, you can pick produce yourself during a U-pick visit and learn how it is grown. The experience combines choosing produce with a look at how it is cultivated. Since seasonal availability can change, it is a good idea to check in advance if a farm visit is a fixed part of your travel plans.

The farm also grows a wide variety of heirloom tomato varieties; crop availability is seasonal. It also provides habitat for pollinators. In addition to offering activities for visitors, the farm’s profile includes cultivation and an ecological aspect. For travelers interested in agriculture, hands-on insights into growing meet a seasonal activity here.

Parks for Different Plans

At Upper Macungie Park, also known as Rt. 100 Park, pavilions are available for celebrations and cookouts. The ponds at Apple Park are used for picnicking and fishing. The two parks have different focuses: the pavilions at Upper Macungie Park suit an outdoor gathering, while Apple Park’s ponds are associated with picnicking and fishing. If you are choosing between these destinations, you can base your decision on the activity you have planned.

This nearby park complements the parks in Fogelsville with trails along the creek and another fishing opportunity. Fishing regulations can change, so check them before planning an outing.

Log Cabins and Local History

Milot Log House is a one-and-a-half-story log house with a side-rising floor plan. It is one of the last three buildings on the Lehigh County Log Cabin Trail. Located on Boger Stadt Road in Fogelsville, it can be viewed while driving by. This makes it possible to appreciate the house both for its architectural form and for its place on the trail. Conditions at the private site can change; check them before visiting.

Adam Bair Log Cabin in Fogelsville dates to around 1753. It offers a different historical point of reference from Milot Log House: here, the date is the specific point of interest, while the other house is distinguished by its architectural form and place on the trail. The two log cabins therefore invite different kinds of comparison: when does each building date from, and which architectural or historical features are noted?

Local Landscape
