The Rural Heritage Village is a short 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 Farhney's Office & Apothecary building, a Cobbler's shop, Broom Maker's shop, Spickler's Country Store and Blacksmith shop. Most of these buildings 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 Heritage Homestead. On this site is a 1939 windmill, two log homes, an outdoor drying shed, brick fired wood oven, a pavilion to house a sawmill, and a German 4-Square Garden with heirloom plants with a "three sisters" patch of corn, beans and squash.
