A brilliant day out to spend with all ages lots of American history and people to tell the tale in the words of the early settlers (in full historical dress).

My wife and I went here with our son, daughter-in-law and her father. We thoroughly enjoyed the visit, but could have used more than the four hours we spent there. Our daughter-in-law's father however got tired out from all of the walking and was ready to leave before then. Luckily it was a beautiful day and he could sit outside... More

Neither my husband or I had ever been as children (like most people we know) and just got back. It was SO much fun..we learned a lot and enjoyed every minute of it. Wear comfortable shoes!

It’s not a cheap visit, but as I understand it, your admission ticket is good for another visit within something like... More

This is a must-stop if you are in the area. I just wish this village was opened until dark as I did not have enough time to explore! I have been to many historic villages across the country and this one had many things I had not seen or experienced before. I fit in a few hours around a conference... More
