living history experiences
To tell the story of early immigrants and their American descendants, the Museum has moved or reproduced examples of traditional rural buildings from England, Germany, Ireland, West Africa, and America. These exhibits offer visitors of all ages opportunities to experience how life in the United States today is shaped by its frontier past.
preserving culture
We cherish and treasure the culture of every American. By helping to bring the past to life through unique exhibits and demonstrations, we're working to preserve the culture of early settlers and the unique characteristics and traditions that they brought with them from countries like England, Germany, Ireland, West Africa, and America.
