About
Immerse yourself in the past and catch a glimpse of rural life across centuries at this sprawling 500-acre outdoor haven, a perfect getaway for RV camping enthusiasts seeking an educational and unique experience. With ample parking space accommodating vehicles up to 36 feet in designated areas, and even provisions for longer vehicles on the east side on grassy spots, setting up your mobile haven has never been easier. While we warmly welcome the hum of generators, we kindly remind our guests that electrical hookups are not part of the experience, encouraging you to embrace the rustic charm of your surroundings. Open year-round to Harvest Hosts guests, this interactive museum transforms into an immersive playground from May to October, Tuesday through Saturday, 9am to 4pm. Step back in time as the museum's dedicated staff brings history to life, offering a rich tapestry of experiences from hands-on classes to sumptuous dinners, and not forgetting the special holiday events that sprinkle magic throughout the off-season. For those keen on planning their visit or participating in our unique offerings, we invite you to explore the array of activities and events detailed on our website. Our office keeps its doors open Monday through Friday, 8:30am to 4:30pm, ready to assist and enrich your visit. We strive to respond to all queries with haste, though we ask for your understanding should responses be delayed during after-hours or weekends. Ready to embark on a journey through time amidst the serene backdrop of nature? Simply click the Request To Stay Button, and unlock the doors to an unforgettable RV camping adventure that intertwines the threads of history with the peace of the great outdoors. Your educational retreat awaits!
