My 11 year old daughter, "I have never enjoyed history as much as I did right now". This place was amazing! We were a family of 4. We watched the hitching and road a wagon. We went to the blacksmith, our kids got to hammer on a wagon wheel and learned about a stagecoach blacksmith. Barb was in the kitchen cooking on a 1800 stove. She invited us to help her. My kids 6 and 11 helped make gooseberry fritters. She made my husband and I coffee, using an egg as a filter like they did then. It was fascinating and so hands on. We went on July 3 and there were young kids and a mom volunteering. They taught us Graces, stilt walking, and other games from the times. This is an absolute must if you are in the Kansas City area!
