"Ran across this place on a Day Trip Search and Soo glad I did. Amazing history and and a quality little town. Everyone we came across was pleasant, informative and genuinely good folks. We will be going back for the festivities and continuing to explore the history, and there is a lot of it. Definitely recommend for anyone that loves history and good conversation with local folks"
"Great place to go for a day trip! A lot of history, trails, cool things to see, cute little shops and good food at Flynn’s Village Grill."
"Cute little town with a great old time feel to it!"
"What a great place to visit. We were there in October. Beautiful fun fall day. Very cute shops. Great restaurants."
"This is a small historic village. There are no guided tours. You walk around at your own pace. You can purchase map/book for $4 that tells you about the village from the General Store or read about it online. Most of the buildings are closed like the surveyors shop and post office. Some buildings have small artisan shops like the potter and bakery. You can grab a bite to eat at Mama T's. Some stores are only open certain days and times. My first visit months ago only Mama T's and General Store were open. There is also a small non strenuous hiking trail behind the post office that takes you to the Powderhouse. Follow the signs and stay on the trail as it's surrounded by private property. Everyone I met was very friendly. They have a bluegrass singing in the park on Friday nights. Bring your own lawn chair."
