We didn't actually get a chance to do the tour. I still wanted to write a review to maybe save someone else from our problem. The day we were there (a Thursday during the summer) they only ran tours every 2 hours and we get there about 40 minutes after the previous tour. We weren't going to hang around for 90 minutes waiting for the next tour. If this tour is something you want to do, make sure to check the times they are sending out tours. The sign said that you had to go on a tour guide-led tour.…

The village was great but our tour guide Tom is what made the place come alive. We took our grandkids who were totally enthralled with it for an hour and a half. It was positively fascinating!

My wife and i took the guided tour. When we showed up a tour was already in progress and so they put us on that tour and then took us back on our own after the first couple was complete. I really enjoyed the staff. They were both very friendly and knew their material very well. The items in the gift shop were very reasonibly priced. I did however feel that a lot of the portions were very "half done". There were things that they did to restore or add some detail, but got a little lazy. One example is the "loom room". They added a lot of dowel rods to the loom, but failed to remove the bar codes. It was interesting though. A lot of history.…

Thank you for taking the time to let us know what you felt we did well and where you feel we need to make improvements. Please know that we value your feedback and that I'll be sure to follow-up on the dowel rods in the loom with my fellow volunteers!

I had my doubts about this, as many of these similar places I have been at were not very historically accurate. This was very unique, the tour guide knew her stuff, and the you could almost imagine being there at that time! They have assembled a great collection of period items or historically accurate reproductions. The layout is such you are standing in history, and touch and ask questions. Plan on more than an hour for the tour, but it won't be boring if you like history.…

We took a day to do some "local" sights and came to the Heritage Village. Tom (TJ) gave us a wonderful guided tour. So much information and knowledge about the life of the early settlers in this area. If you are looking for something different when visiting the area, please stop in and check them out.…
