We visited in early March, and were among the only people there. Even so, this place is very beautiful both naturally and from an historical standpoint. The village is surrounded by rolling hills and fields; I can only imagine how beautiful they are during the summer and fall months. The village contains an heirloom seed store, A bakery/mill that sells baked goods, and an apothecary. We also visited the restaurant, where the food was completely outstanding, with fare that you can t find around here or even nearby Springfield. The restaurant is donation only, which means that guests are asked to donate whatever they feel is fair. We donated $20 each. Even the drive from Springfield was pleasant, which really surprised me. This place isn t wheelchair friendly, as the paths are gravel and quite hilly. A stroller could be used, but it s not easy. I can t wait to return in warmer weather!
