Rural Village and Homestead
|
|
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, 1750 Glass family log home, 1804 Dr. Daniel Farhney's Office & Apothecary building, a Cobbler's shop, Broom Maker's shop, Spickler's Country Store and Blacksmith shop. 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 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.
