I’m not a particular local history buff, but this is just such a well done and well thought out experience. It’s one of my go tos when family or friends visit the area and it is Amazingly dog friendly - as in, my dog joined us for every single building AND got to ride the train with us. It might seem pricey but honestly it’s so easy to spend 4 or more hours here. My grandparents absolutely loved the Wanted posters I got done for them some years back at the printing press here.The volunteer demonstrators are fantastic individuals and I hope they know how appreciated their time and wealth of knowledge is. read less

Village was fantastic. Food not so great.

Very good displays. Well presented as a restored 19th century town.

Great experience. Recommend it to younger people to see how life was before computers.

Also cafe was out of everything, even milk. Otherwise great experience. read less
