Although you'll be traveling back to the past during your visit, there are some 21st century rules to bear in mind:

​

• Animals are unpredictable. Please do not touch or feed the livestock or any wild animals.

• Our buildings are original and fragile. Strollers may be used on the Village roads, but not in historic buildings.

• Pets are not permitted at the museum. Service animals are the only exception to this.

• Please keep off of fences, walls, trees, etc, and stay on paths. Avoid ticks in the tall grass.

• Watch your step during your visit, village roads and floors within the historic buildings are like that of the 19th century.

• Wildflowers, crops, and any other plant life, are for all to enjoy. Please do not pick.
