Brought here with exceptional care, old farmhouses, a school house, and other buildings from times past, such as a saw mill, grain mill, smithy and even two chapels, provide impressive testimony of a rural culture that has almost disappeared. Free-roaming animals also help provide a living impression of what life on the farm used to be like.
