Stroll down the streets of the 1920s village exploring the heritage & replica buildings. Period costumed townsfolk give demonstrations in the homes, businesses and shops: watch the blacksmith at forge, listen to the rhythm of the platen press, mind the teacher in the schoolhouse, catch an old movie in the theatre and hear stories about the Love family and their Farmhouse. Be sure to take in the elegance of the Interurban #1223; a mode of transportation ahead of its time. A ride on the vintage 1912 CW Parker Carousel is sure to please both the young and the young at heart. The village grounds include gardens, a grassy meadow and fish-bearing brook.
