The 5-acre (20,000 m2) site was formerly the Alexander Family Farm and includes the barn which is the main museum building,[2] an 1880s blacksmith shop and an 1830s log house. Permanent exhibits include period Main Street and business displays, including a historic general store, local history and notable figures, the history of the farm, and a display of Victorian-era carriages, cutters and sleighs.
