We took the wagon ride tour up the hill and it was great fun--even on a very hot day in June! The tour guide was in period clothing even! It was very informative and fun. They stop serveral times so you can get out and take pictures and a closer look. Might be slightly more fun on a cooler day.

The farm tram tour is worth it! This was one of the best things we did on our little get away to Hermann. It was the most authentic part of the trip and as it turns out one of the only things open on a Wednesday- be warned If you go to Hermann they don't "do Tuesdays or Wednesdays..." But the farm is open and the staff is very nice and we were lucky enough to have a tour guide that had family in town for at least three generations so she gave a lot of first hand information about the town history and county as well. The buildings are air conditioned and have been kept in very good shape. This was the bright spot in our trip and ended in a lovely visit to the new distillery - Black Shire Distillery.
