Reviews
"Beautiful displays. Very informative, relaxing and enjoyable. The director was incredibly knowledgeable and was able to provide historic context for his answers. A great educational activity for families."
"Very interesting history shared in an enjoyable way. Appreciated Kathy sharing the information with us. No doubt the experience for the kids in an immersive way is impactful."
"Second time visiting for the "Sing me high" music festival. The talent this year was awesome, headlining Maya Devitry and Chatham Rabbits, both with stunning performances. As well as locally established favorites The Rain Pickers, and many more. I greatly enjoyed catching up with old friends and new between sets. Good vibes, great energy, I look forward to #9 next year."
"Very interesting and well kept buildings. Our guide was knowledgeable and did a great job."
"Saw this place on 'things to do' in the area and it seemed from the limited information from other reviews, their website, and photos it was a historic center that would provide history and tours of Brethren and Mennonite and how the people of this faith lived during the 1700 & 1800s. Unfortunately, this was not it. This is more of a religious educational experience. Its all about the religion and what the Mennonite faith is about. The tour guide was very nice and knowledgeable. There are many old/historic buildings on site but our guide really didn't seem interested in talking about history. He was very interested in talking about the Mennonite religion. We wished it was more of a historical tour/experience."
