Step back into a living, working 19th century country village. Explore over 60 historic buildings faithfully restored to their original glory. Meet knowledgeable costumed interpreters who keep the hearth fires burning, the heirloom gardens flourishing, and the livestock tended.

You’ll hear the clanging of the blacksmith’s hammer, smell the aroma of fresh baked pies and bread, roll the hoop with the stick, test your balance on the stilts and otherwise truly experience life in a 19th century American country village. Be sure to catch live demonstrations at the pottery, cooper shop, tinsmith and more. Children especially love our one-room schoolhouse and the 19th century games they can play on the village square. You might even decide to try your hand at making a punched tin ornament.

We offer Educational Programs & Classes for School and Homeschool Groups. The historic village is open for self-guided tours and Focused Field Studies from mid-May through mid-October. Museum educator-guided tours are offered in early May and late October.

The nature center is open for scheduled programs throughout the school year. For exact dates, please call (585) 538-6822 x218.
