Tours

Step back in time with a guided adventure into days gone by -- a time of one-room schoolhouse, blacksmith shops, country stores and log homes.

Stroll through up to 16 different buildings experiencing life as it was "back then" and learning about the major inventions that changed everything to create the quality of life we take for granted today. To see our interactive map, click here.
