点评:We made an impromptu visit to this historic village on a fall Saturday afternoon. We had been at the beach, but it wasn’t a great beach day, so we decided to head home and find an activity to break up the drive. We happened to discover that there was a flea market happening at the village that day, so we decided to stop.
Admission to the flea market was $5 per adult, while our two children were free. We walked around and both of our kids found a little treasure they wanted, which made the stop fun right from the beginning.
After the flea market, we explored the historic village and were genuinely impressed. It’s a beautiful property, and we really enjoyed walking around and taking in the historic buildings. There were also lots of fun inflatable Halloween decorations throughout the village, which added a festive fall atmosphere.
We visited several of the buildings, including the bakery, blacksmith shop, chapel, and historic house. The tour guides in the chapel and house were excellent—very informative but also engaging and approachable. The chapel tour was about 10 minutes, and the house tour was around 20–25 minutes. Even our 7- and 10-year-old children stayed engaged throughout both tours, which says a lot about how well they were presented.
The guides also told us about some of the special events held at the village, and we would definitely consider coming back for one of those. Overall, we were pleasantly surprised by how much we enjoyed our visit, especially since it was a completely spontaneous stop.
We also rode the train afterward. The train is not part of the historic village itself, but it is located right outside the property. It cost $24 for our family of four. The ride was fun for the kids and made two loops around part of the property, but personally, we felt that $24 was quite a bit for the experience and probably wouldn’t do the train again.
That said, we would absolutely return to the historic village. It was a wonderful, unexpected find and a great fall activity for families with kids.

跳蚤市场的入场费为每位成人5美元,我们的两个孩子则可以免费进入。我们在市场上逛了逛,两个孩子都找到了自己心仪的小玩意儿。这一切让整个行程从一开始就充满了乐趣。
逛完跳蚤市场后,我们游览了这座历史悠久的村庄,印象极为深刻。这里环境优美,我们十分享受在村里漫步、欣赏那些古老建筑的时光。村里还到处都有各种有趣的万圣节充气装饰品,为整个地方增添了浓郁的秋季节日氛围。
我们参观了好几栋建筑,包括面包店、铁匠铺、小教堂以及一座历史悠久的住宅。小教堂和故居的讲解员表现得非常出色——不仅知识渊博,而且风趣幽默、平易近人。小教堂的参观时长约为10分钟,故居的参观则持续了20到25分钟左右。就连我们7岁和10岁的孩子也全程兴致勃勃,这充分体现了这些讲解有多么引人入胜。
讲解员还向我们介绍了村里举办的一些特别活动,我们绝对会考虑下次专门为此再来一趟。总的来说,我们很惊喜地发现自己非常享受这次游览,尤其是因为这完全是一次临时起意的行程。
之后我们还坐了火车。那列火车并不属于历史村落的一部分,但它就坐落在景区外面。我们一家四口买票花了24美元。对孩子们来说,这次乘火车体验相当有趣,火车还绕着景区的一部分绕了两圈。不过就我们个人而言,觉得24美元的花费对于这样的体验来说有些贵了,以后大概不会再坐这趟火车了。
话虽如此……我们绝对会再次光顾这个历史悠久的村庄。它是一个意想不到的绝佳发现,也是带孩子的家庭在秋季进行亲子活动的最佳去处。
