|
The Rural Heritage Village is an easy walk behind the Rural Transportation Museum. You will be able to explore the Mt. Tabor log church(Circa 1750) Glass family log home (Circa 1804) Dr. Daniel Fahrney's Office & Apothecary building, a Cobbler's shop, Broom Maker's shop, Spickler's Country Store and Blacksmith shop. All of these buildings, except the Blacksmith, Broommakers and Cobblers Shop, were moved from their original locations to the Village and are maintained in their native condition.
On the hill above the Rural Village is the Rural Homestead. On this site is a 1939 windmill from the Doubs farm, two family log homes, an outdoor drying shed, brick fired wood oven, a Frick 1939 sawmill, and a German 4-Square Garden with heirloom plants with a "three sisters" patch of corn, beans and squash.
