"This place was absolutely amazing. There are tons of old homes and buildings that have been relocated here from all over the area. There are several Craftsmen and living history people through the village. They are all very friendly and very informative. We spent 3 hours here and could have easily spent a whole lot more. I would gladly come back here again!"

"So much knowledge to be gleaned here. It’s like walking through an interactive history textbook and seeing it all come to life. Had so much fun learning about coopers and how they make these impressive barrels out of staves( have nothing to do with dungeons and dragons). Seeing what hop plants for the brewery look like and how they are harvested and processed to make hop beer. Everyone is in uniform and they make their own food and parts for the town. I saw the tin maker making candle snuffers, blacksmith making nails for the hinges of the doors and the tailer and the dressmaker making costumes. I learned about flax seed and how that is processed into linen fiber to be woven for fabric…then went to the local store in the village to gawk at some old things for sale. They have a lot of unspecified medications back then, and medicine was not so good. Learned a lot about how life was like for women in that area, who went to school to learn practical skills but dropped out from school if they were getting married. Also was super surprised to see the workers cooking traditional American pastries in the historic homes. They were very convincing! Just a really great educational experience trying to get a feel of how life was like, and because it is enacted it is so much more realistic and interactive compared to a regular museum with glass cases. I had such a good time, and appreciate my life so much more after going there. People in those times—- and it’s like only 200 years ago, have to spend the majority of their day just surviving and harvesting food. They did not have nearly as much protein as we do now, they had to hunt to supplement their diet. Even if they had iPhones they would not have the time to relax."

The entire village is beautifully maintained with incredible attention to detail, and the cast members truly bring the historic setting to life. Their passion and dedication make the experience feel authentic and immersive. I highly recommend a visit!"

"Went for the Maple Sugar Festival 🍁 not everything was open I believe because we went on a Sunday, but it was still fun to walk around and peek into all of the windows. There was music and dancing and all of the members working were friendly and engaging. I learned a lot and got to try so many yummy old fashioned treats! Will definitely be back on a weekday or a Saturday so we can go into more buildings! 😊"
