Loved our stay - great for families...
We stayed 4 nights at the Heritage Farm. As we pulled in the drive, we were met by a fully antlered buck who wasn't the least perturbed by our arrival. The cabins are gorgeous, crafted from 150 year old timbers and decorated with antiques. It was a bit musty at first, but to be expected when considering you are completely surrounded by historic artifacts. After 5 minutes - you don't even notice it and my allergies were not affected. The accommodations are clean and very spacious. Though just two bedrooms, there were enough beds including the pull out sofa to sleep 12 -and this is one of the smaller cabins. Loved the fully equipped kitchen and laundry. Was able to cook my family dinner in the convection oven. The kids loved playing in the creek and spent hours catching crawdads and minnows. They also enjoyed the grounds and farm animals.
The museum itself was amazing. Even though the focus was on history the museum did a great job of impressing how human ingenuity has spawned amazing invention throughout a few short centuries. The tour guide was very gracious in relating to both my neurotypical daughter and autistic son. The museum has been featured on American Pickers and just has an amazing collection of artifacts from trains and planes to apple peelers and wash boards. They even have a simulated coal mine for children and adults alike.
There were also no modern distractions such as TV, however, we were able to tether our laptops to our cellphone to check work messages. Reception in the valley was excellent. We'll be back!
