It is a recognized interpretive site of National Park Service Underground Railroad Network to Freedom and New York State Underground Railroad Heritage Trail. The farmhouse, barn, outbuildings, and the landscape itself remain very much as they would have appeared in 1850 and there are interpretive exhibits and educational video housed in the barn. Guided tours can be arranged by contacting the site directly.

The farm is open to the public from 9am until 6pm, 7 days a week, from May 1 until October 31, from 9am until 4pm, Tuesday through Sunday, November 1 until April 30.
