Five stars! Great free outdoor museum with maps that talk about the history and the buildings. They also have a convenient phone tour. On top of that, there is an EV charger right at the pond, which is free! Highly recommended.

Great space to walk around in any weather. They also have art shows and other events. Have been coming here for a while and it's a great place to bring out of town guests as it is a nice spot to walk around for all ages & abilities! They have craft fairs and many vendors come out, great space!
