Great place to learn about the past. Sent my 10 year old there for a week of day camps and she loved it!

To tour guides are fantastic and very knowledgeable in the history of the farm and family that lived there. A lot of different things going on, such as metal foraging, ice cream social and a couple different tours. Really enjoyed our morning and learned a lot as well.

Went with my first graders last week and was not impressed. As a farm, was expecting more animals and hands on activities to engage students. Instead it was a lot of story telling and not well planned activities. Perhaps it was just that we had a poor guide. He was very graphic about some violent aspects of the Dakota life talking about cutting open a buffalo head and using the brains to smash on the hide and stabbing muscrats until the whole family was dead. At one point he demonstrated how to build a teepee. He was not very clearly about explaining what to do and at one point walked away from the wooden posts and they fell over nearly missing a 6 year olds head by inches! She would have been seriously injured had they hit her. We ended at a bracelet making activity that was very challenging for most of the 6 year olds and required a lot of adult assistance. I tried to keep things moving so we wouldn't miss our busses and reminded him that we had to meet busses and were running late. He had the nerve to tell a fellow tour guide as we were leaving that we "had trouble rounding up the kids" and that was why we were late. Next year we will be looking for a new field trip location.
