Love it!! We have a similar attraction here, Missouri Town 1865, but it's run by the County, so no fun creative videos. My kids used to love going there, though, they hold lots of events, like sheep shearing, cooking demonstrations and the like. My daughter was a huge Little House on the Prairie fan so this stuff was right up her alley.
Well it's not very well publicized. We knew about it as we live ~10 minutes from there and they advertised special events in our local suburb's newspaper. Both kids also went on field trips there. Do they even do field trips any more?!
My kids used to at their school here and I am pretty sure the local public school does. I wonder if maybe Missouri Town wasn’t as developed when we lived there? Or maybe we just never found the time to go?
Well we were just there for a Walktober event (go out weekends in October and walk different featured parks) last fall, and an interpreter was talking about which of the buildings were original, and which had been moved to the site from other places but I don't remember if he said what years. My kids were born in 93 and 95 and we went a lot when they were little, so it's not that new.
Yeah I do seem to remember hearing about it because the name sounds familiar but I guess we just never took the time to go. Probably because my husband was working all the time 🤪😛
I’d watch that! Do you have a link for it?
