Define "best" and "living history farm". What period? part of the country? 
First person or not? sustainable or not? (i.e. raise all the food 
necessary for the animals using period implements...v.s. importing animals 
for demonstrations or supplementing food with modern farming techniques)

Some of my favorites are: 

Conner Prairie, Fishers Indiana: http://www.connerprairie.org/
Howell Farm, Titusville, New Jersey: http://www.howellfarm.com/
Garfield Farm, LaFox Illinois: http://www.garfieldfarm.org/
Klein Creek Farm, Winfield Illinois:

Billings Farm, Woodstock Vermont: http://www.billingsfarm.org/

The ALHFAM web site has links to lots of sites. http://www.alhfam.org
