Stearns Homestead is Parma's last operational educational farm, spanning more than 48 acres throughout the Cleveland suburb. The homestead is open to the public during the afternoon hours on weekends between May and mid-October, offering free admission to all visitors. It showcases the 1855 Stearns House, a Greek Revival-style farmhouse constructed by Lyman Stearns that is one of Ohio's oldest extant wooden houses. The 1919 Gibbs House, also located on the property, is preserved as a living history museum, showcasing early-20th century artifacts of vintage home technologies. Other buildings include a Yankee-style barn constructed between 1836 and 1855, a Country Store selling historic items and local arts and crafts, and a rental cabin originally constructed by the Parma Kiwanis.
