Museum Village offers the opportunity for visitors to see, touch, hear, and understand life in 19th century America, with over a quarter of a million objects on display in more than 25 exhibitions and demonstration buildings.

The beautiful 17 acre site includes a

• Weave Shop
• Dress Emporium
• Cobbler Shop
• Blacksmith
• Broom Maker
• Pharmacy
• General Store
• Barber Shop
• School House
• and much, much more.

Farm animals at The Barn help add to the old world charm of the place, and there is even a very interesting natural history exhibit.

An excellent resource for the family, Museum Village also offers a full calendar of special events throughout the season. Visitors can enjoy an Antique Gas and Steam Engine Show, a Civil War Re-enactment, Native American Exhibitions and Demonstrations, and many other exciting, educational activities.

As a non - profit educational institution, Museum Village offers several excellent School Programs for grades 1 through 6.

Village Visit (pre - K thru 6): is a self - guided tour of the village, with a written Exhibit Guide and map provided to help the group get the most out of the many exhibits and demonstrations.

Different hands - on Workshops (grades 2 thru 6) are offered in the areas of Cooking, Stenciling, Candlemaking, Printing, Natural Dyeing, and Spinning (wool, that is). These workshops are delivered when the Museum is closed, so a tour is not included. Each class does two one-hour workshops.

The Sampler (grades 2 thru 6): is a popular program combining a Workshop, plus a self - guided Village Tour.

Finally, On The Road (grades 1 and up) is an outreach program that gives groups a choice of hands - on activities in one of three areas: Buttermaking, Spinning, or Mystery Objects (behind the scenes at Museum Village). Most programs last about an hour (not including a tour) and allow a minimum of 15 and maximum of 30 students.
