Knowledgeable staff, awesome recreation of frontier TN station and original Bowers House. Lots of tools and equipment for kids to learn about.

I loved the personal tour of the fort and brick home. The experience was informative, entertaining, and educational.

What an interesting place! Bill gave us a wonderful tour. He is a wealth of information and is passionate about American history and understanding how early Americans lived. The gift shop was a delight. Highly recommend.

Manskers station and Bowen house are terrific! The station includes demonstrations of the skills and craft of the period. It's not as balanced an interpretation as you might get elsewhere (i.e no mention of enslaved, little mention of native people), but it is very immersive in the experience of the early settlers. The tour is great and our guide's knowledge was impressive. They continue to practice much of the agriculture and craft of the era and explain it in detail. The Bowen house is interesting and includes a neat collection of medical technology of the era and information about an early cholera epidemic. Fascinating local history (connections to place names etc).
