Hop on board for a relaxing 35–40 minute carriage ride through the charming streets of Old Town Lunenburg. Pulled by one of our beautiful horses, you’ll discover the town’s rich history, colorful waterfront, and iconic landmarks like the “Castle on the Hill.”
Your friendly guide will share fun stories and local history as you roll past historic homes and hidden gems. Whether you’re visiting for the first time or rediscovering your hometown, Trot in Time is a memorable way to see Lunenburg.
Come take a ride — and let the clip-clop of hooves carry you into the past.
The tour offers a peaceful, unhurried way to explore Lunenburg’s historic streets, ideal for unwinding and soaking in the atmosphere of this historic town.
Just outside of Lunenburg, on beautiful First Peninsula, you’ll find the Ernst Family Farm — 240 acres full of history, memories, and heart. It’s been in our family for over a hundred years, passed down through the generations.
Farming largely stopped here more than 25 years ago, and the land shows it. It needs care, time, and a whole lot of work to bring it back to life.
We’re a team of 10 siblings, and together, we’ve decided to give the family farm a fresh start.
That journey led us to Trot in Time Carriage Tours — a beloved local business that’s close to our hearts. It started in 1996 with one of our family’s horses and our good friend, Basil Oickle.
Our dream? To turn the farm into a place where people feel welcome — where we can explore the history of Lunenburg and the surrounding area, and where we can work with some of the beautiful animals of bygone eras.
