CONNIE: The mid-1950s saw an influx of people from Baltimore County seeking larger properties for less money.

The early developments were neighborhoods with large lots of land, and they had a shopping center nearby.

In 1955, the Enchanted Forest was built and that became a large attraction for the surrounding area.

The Enchanted Forest was a child's paradise, an amusement park built on the themes of nursery rhymes.

Very appealing to even the youngest of children, slides and climbing activities and motorized rides that they would get on.

For little small kids to be able to go up and touch characters from nursery rhymes was a joy for them.

It officially closed in '95.

People were very disappointed because they lost such a fun and nostalgic place to visit.

But the good part is many of the attractions were moved to Clark's Elioak Farm.

NORA: Our tagline is, "Farming in Howard County since 1797."

So we've been here a while.

My mom read an article in the Baltimore Sun in early 2004 about the Pumpkin Coach, inside the Enchanted Forest shopping center on the land where the Enchanted Forest used to be.

My mom applied to say, I have the best place for it.

And so my mom got the piece.

Um, it was fixed up.

Everybody was so happy for us.

Then pieces kept coming outta the woodwork, so we had to get cranes and trucks to just kind of like lift them out of this low muddy area.

We had the last piece, the original castle moved in 2015 and we were able to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the Enchanted Forest.

Restoring these characters and maintaining them is so much more work than people think.

The pieces had been made of concrete and chicken wire and wood, and they had just been completely left alone for almost 10 years.

Every year we pick one or two projects that need a little more help.

Behind me here is Little Toot and he was a boat ride that went through the Mount Vesuvius Tunnel.

We're fixing him up here, sanding, painting.

We are putting a lot of love and a lot of work into him to get him ready, hopefully for next spring to make his debut.

We are so lucky to have these characters dotted all over the farm.

Kids are getting to see their storybooks come to life, their nursery rhymes come to life.

Fall is one of my favorite seasons on the farm, and it is just full of beautiful leaves, fresh air, pumpkins, apple cider, hayrides, and it's when most of the people visit our farm.

We wanna preserve our family legacy, which is this town and this area and everything that's part of it.
