Rich in history & different cultures. Houses from different countries . They teach you about history from other countries . My favorite is the German history because my dad was born in Germany.

Make sure to stop by the Native American village being built. It's a great way to see how their communities were built, since it's a work in progress now.

Join us for Ancestral Skills and Historic Trades and see how cooking was done on the Native American site as well as flint-knapping, smelting iron in a bloomery, and much more!

A surprisingly expansive museum with some incredibly authentic buildings. A great trip! And on a hot day, a lot of these "primitive" houses dwellings stay cool without air conditioning ! :P

Come out and see "The New Kids on the Block" at our West African site. They love to eat bamboo !

Walk through the homes of Scot-Irish and other settlers. Note: museum has goats clearing the invasive grasses. Be sure to check out the blacksmith demonstration. Read more

Wear old shoes and old clothes . They "pave" their paths with tar covered with dirt, and it cakes the bottom of your shoes , and easily gets on your clothes !
