About
Step through the looking glass of time into a realm where the whispers of the past resonate amidst the historical tapestry of Henry County. Here, RV camping enthusiasts and history buffs alike will be enthralled by a unique cultural gem: a museum complex that not only showcases a vivid slice of local history but also invites visitors to an immersive dive into the 19th century. The heartbeat of this historical treasure trove is its centerpiece, a meticulously restored landmark that echoes the storied legacy of a once prominent brewery. This architectural marvel now proudly displays a trove of local artifacts that tell tales of the county's rich past. Adjacent to this historical hub, the Annex beckons, granting guests passage to a world adorned with artistic brilliance. Grace your eyes with captivating art exhibits or stroll through the Indoor Village rooms, where every corner is a doorway to another era. A jewel in the complex's crown is the elegant Dorman House. Craftsmanship from the year 1852 abounds within, where period furnishings exude the opulence of bygone days. Standing testament to resilience and history is a rare 1856 Dog Trot Log House, lovingly preserved and brought to this very site for your wonderment. The homestead doesn't just stop at the log house; it includes a collection of structures that perfectly depict an 1800s farmstead: a barn, a corn crib, a smokehouse, and even an outhouse, offering a truly authentic glimpse into rural life of the period. For RV campers seeking a serene retreat steeped in the echoes of yesteryear, this historic museum complex offers not only a night beneath the stars but also a day traveling through the annals of time. Whether you're looking to enrich your journey with cultural enlightenment or hoping to relax in an RV-friendly spot that doubles as a history lesson, consider a stay where every sunset and sunrise are bookmarked by heritage, and every gaze across the landscape is met with a story waiting to be told.
