It’s kind of cool place.. if you limited time, I would rather spend on the valley… if you have time it’s worth a visit… the covered bridge and jail was cool.. other cottages were closed for winter.. was told it will open in summer with people enacting old times..

Fun place for the kids to explore with little signs at every building explaining the significance of every structure. You can look thru the windows and see all the furniture as well.
