Every building in this dynamic piece of history comes with its own fascinating story. Like the Kieffer Place that wouldn’t budge when a wrecking crew tried to take it down.

Guides in period dress describe the origins of meticulously restored homes, businesses, schools, and churches and demonstrate how people lived and worked long ago. There are also nature trails, an exhibition hall, and sporting art gallery. Family holiday events have a charm all their own.
