Preserved collection of 40-plus original buildings where volunteer guides demonstrate historic trades including an operational printing press. Educational school programs and special events run throughout the year.
π Family Action Verdict
Best for families with school-age children who enjoy hands-on learning and interactive demonstrations. The printing press demonstration and schoolhouse exhibit are standout moments. Bring bread or meat scraps to interact with the resident bird, and allow a full day to cover the full collection of buildings at a relaxed pace.

βWill definitely be returning. They have a bird bomb diving you so bring bread/meat to throw at it. If we make friends with it, then it might not be so scared. Great places to have a picnic though they do have a basic cafeβ

βA good place to see and relax but i went solo, no tour guide and some buildings were dirty and smelly like the rural school and theatre and some cottages. I understand they are old but quite unpleasant.β

βMassive range of historical buildings, artefacts, and vehicles. Rare to find so much in one place, great to make a day of it with the Cafe as well.β
