Activities include tours of the buildings, and craft demonstrations. Victorian dinners served by women in period dress give your group a glimpse of what life was like at the turn-of-the-century.An 1870 Victorian Mansion is the focal point of the park, with other attractions including a log cabin, train depot, one-room schoolhouse, stone barn, gift shop, grocery store and a new turn-of-the-century drug store, complete with a working soda fountain.
Over 2 1/2 acres of botanical gardens add to the splendor of the area.
