Excellent and highly recommended day trip

We recently went here for the first time and were surprised at how nice this park is. It's clean, nicely kept, and the people working there are very friendly and know everything about the items in the park. We had a great time and learned a lot about the park. Many of the structures are original and you can tour them yourself at your own pace. Shops, houses, and other things make the town complete. There are demos going on mostly between 11-3 in the town, for various things like lumber cutting and cider making. There are also a preserved carousel and ferris wheel from the early 1900's. The train ride is excellent. The conductor was very informative and very friendly. We learned that the passenger cars are some of the few available today that are preserved as they were back when they were used. And by preserved I mean with the original hardware. We were able to get up close and the engineer also talked to us to tell us about the engine which was from 1903. All in all, the park is very well run, and we'll definitely be going back. You can spend an entire day there if you tour through the village and catch the rides.
