There awas alot of trails and places to walk and see, and so many animals and the set up was amazing.... More

Went for my husband's birthday and enjoyed the special turkey dinner they hold during the winter.

Walk through history, first the Native American, then to the pioneers of the 1850s, then 1900s working farm, the old Flynn Mansion and a Pioneer Village.

my kids loved everything about this place! So many hands on activities and education More

Going back to how it used to be. How they used to do things. Lots of things see and to do. We like the meals at the farm house and helping do chores. Riding the horse drawn wagon there and back. Love it. Even in the winter time!! More
