Great for kids My daughter is fascinated by pioneer life... she enjoyed the museum and it was nice that there wasn't much blocked off... she could sit in the desks in the school house, try out the bed in the log cabin, etc. There are a number of buildings that can be toured and interesting items in each one.

Well presented local history Very well laid out grounds and lots of supporting docs to show the history of the area.
