Nice old buildings. It would be nice to have a few vending machines in that octagon building with music and chairs.

This place was a lot of fun. It's free to enter, free parking on site. We were able to just wander through pieces of history. I thought it was really cool that each of the houses on the grounds had placards of when they were built, and where they brought from. Unique way to spend about 90 minutes
