Clark's Elioak Farm (Enchanted Forest relics)

When Maryland's beloved 1955 storybook amusement park Enchanted Forest closed and its parking lot became a shopping center, this working farm quietly rescued and hand-restored over 100 of its fiberglass and concrete pieces — Cinderella's pumpkin coach, the Old Woman's Shoe sawed in half for the move, the Three Bears' House, Willie the Whale, a new-built Enchanted Castle — and now walks kids through the same wide-eyed 1950s fairy tale on a real cattle farm.

The move: Wander the reassembled Enchanted Forest path among goats and ponies, climb into the pumpkin coach, then grab farm-grown corn and tomatoes from the produce stand on the way out.
