Love this place! I loose myself in the history here. You are quickly taken back to 1762 as soon as you step in!

The cub scouts had a great time there. We learned about early American living, we learned to weave and spin. The educators were great and they were dressed in period attire. We also learned a little local history. At the end of the educational event, we ate the most delicious apple cake and apple juice. They have a cute gift shop with some small toys, recipe books and some handmade items.
