20241005 Wow! This Village Museum is amazing, the best one ever. It has a huge collection of items to include dolls, boy scout, girl scout, military, spoons, marbles as well as furniture, equipment, and so much more. My favorite are the church, courthouse and Jail. The jail cell is perfect for psychopaths. 🤣 There is so much to see. Because it was so hot when we were there and too hot for my pups, I didn't see everything and still spent 1.5 hours. I can easily spend an entire day there or longer. This village is very dogfriendly. The gift shop is small. The lady knew the woman who made the Angels that I bought all to give to my Christian friends. 🙏✝️🙏

My 11 year old daughter and I loved this museum. It’s super cool to see how they lived in the past. There are about 100 exhibits here, and they really are fantastic replicas of a village.

This place is great and it's dog friendly! We explored the whole museum with my dog and checked out a little bit of the nature trails. The staff was also super friendly to us and my dog!

Beautiful historical village. Best layout I have ever seen - easy to follow paths that make the best use of your time without retracing paths. Displays were diverse and gave a great overview of life in the four states area. Fascinating bios on the founders of the village as well as Cherokee lawyers, a "hanging judge," a woman who went from teaching to clerking to owning a controlling interest in a bank, etc. Really made history come alive. Live weaving demonstration was fascinating. Staff incredibly helpful and kind. Took my three year old and was there for six hours. The variety of displays and outdoor features kept him interested and he loved the children's play area! Highly recommend.

What a great little place! Best $10 you can spend. Spent 4 hrs here and didn't see everything. So many things to see. Added bonus I saw a few bald eagles. Ate lunch at the Cafe it was delicious. Highly recommend. Amazing collection of antiques.

So much to see. Lots of antiques and collections displayed in various buildings. This is not an actual village, but a way of displaying items. Easy to follow, they give you a numbered map in the visitor center. We were not that interested in some of the collections, but for those who are more knowledgeable about antiques you would find it amazing... Like a whole room full of glassware or a room full of old dolls. I wish someone would fix up some of the old farm machinery. The grounds are awesome, and the nature trail is great, but part of it is closed... by the lake. Looked like they are making an event center there for weddings, etc.
