"We try to provide visitors with a sample of what it must have been like to have attended an ice cream social or community picnic in those days. The entertainment, food and craft demonstrations all harken to the 1890s and early 1900s. It's a very relaxing, 'fun' event for the whole mily." Bustles and parasols are the tshion order of the day.
