Great place, great friends here. So many memories, some of their treasures came from my grandparents. Thank you for the memories.
This is a quaint little farm museum that is currently growing. You can mill your own corn, work with the blacksmith and spend about half a day here. It was very informative and the staff was friendly. It was not busy when we went and we stayed almost the whole day. It would be a good idea to check on the hours before going because they tend to close down on holidays.
This was a great family activity! We figured we'd take a risk and try it out. We're glad we did. They were very friendly to us and showed us around. There were lots of things to see and do. You can actually interact with the items on display. My kids could touch objects and were even encouraged to operate some of the old equipment. We saw ducks and chickens and fed horses. We learned a lot about what farm life is like and what life was like a few generations ago. There's something for everyone. They even had some toys out to keep our two-year-old busy. I'd even go back and spend more time looking at some of the equipment.
I visited this farm museum while I was chaperoning a field trip with my daughters 2nd grade class. While I really enjoy history and seeing how things used to be done in the past, the children weren't really that interested. I felt the guides were not accustomed to talking with 8 year olds. They really weren't creating any interest for the children through their presentations at the different stations throughout the museum. That said, I appreciated the museum and would love to go back and spend some time looking at the exhibits, it just didn't seem to be a good fit for these children.
Great place, lots of history to learn about farming. Fun for friends and family.
