Description: Three farms brought over from Europe
(German, Scotch, English) explain the cultural backgrounds of
many early settlers, and an American Frontier Culture farm
demonstrates daily life of 1840-1860. Costumed
interpreters and livestock give insight.
An 18th century Irish forge offers blacksmithing
demonstrations.
