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 !
Spooky Tales presentation was fantastic! Great actors and tours of a few of the homes. Highly recommended for any age!
Surprised by how extensive and informative this place is. I'd love to go back.
The homemade fudge is FANTASTIC. It makes a great christmas present for anyone who loves chocolate .
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 !
Good times tastes and traditions
Avoid coming on field trip days.

Self-guided tour in the museum. The tour of his home is interesting. Not much in the gift shop, though. - Will Lyster
