Reviews
Such a huge assortment of horse-drawn carriages. Many are set in large diorama exhibits, with soundscapes. Press a button, listen to the ambient sound surrounding you, and it is fairly easy to be transported back in time. Make sure you plan ahead, because the exhibit space (located directly behind the ticket office on Route 25 A) is used for some very in depth studies of local history. Photos, paintings, etchings, artifacts... I believe that these are mostly private collections that aren't shown anywhere else. Leave yourself plenty of time to visit - at least two hours - or you'll miss a great deal of what they have to offer.
