"Lots of beautiful old fashioned things to see, always friendly volunteers and well kept grounds"
"I love this place! I have been coming every chance I get since it opened. I have brought my kids, and now my grandkids. They love the classes in the old ways, the stories of the old days, and just the peaceful beauty of the Settlement."
"Amazing place! Loved it! We arrived after official tour times had ended but got all the info we needed and were welcomed to walk around and enjoy this very unique and special place. Thank you Patti❤️ If you’re in the area, this is a ‘don’t miss’ experience."
"The staff was super nice. Unfortunately we didn't have time to do a guided tour, it was a rainy monday and so most of the buildings were closed. We walked the site and will plan to return some day when they have a black smith and others in the buildings."
"This is an awesome fun outing . We was here for Keepers of the old ways event. Lots of great knowledge shared. The buildings are all in good shape now. Love the fact that the log cabins are mostly staffed by family relationship. Lots of pride & care given. So worth the visit."
