Historic trades are displayed in shops, and domestic life is shown inside historic homes. Also included in general admission is a series of daily programs throughout the site, including talks and demonstrations of trades, political life in the 19th century, and the evolution of 1850s fashions. Set against the backdrop of the woods and wetlands surrounding the site, the Open Village is an immersive experience that educates and inspires.
