So, where were hayrides “invented” and how did they get to be such popular events?
A hayride is a pleasure ride in an open truck, wagon or sleigh which has been decorated with hay or straw and similar farmlife paraphernalia. In modern times it is usually organized commercially and takes place at night. It is said that the hayride originated in Kansas, but any area with farmers could likely claim the same thing. It is considered as an instance of Americana,– all according to Wikipedia.
Folks have a great time touring the farm on our tractor-drawn hayrides. We are collecting Hayride Stories for our blog here at Belvedere Plantation! Send us yours!
