Wonderful historical location! They have the homestead set up to reflect all the different eras that the home was occupied. From colonial through the 1930s.

I had a private tour because it was not a busy day and the young woman who guided was so good! I really enjoyed it. It's worth a visit for sure if you're into history and old houses.
