With 13 original structures situated on the four acres that comprise Heritage Farmstead Museum, Kathy Wilson, recently retired vice president of marketing, development and livestock calls this an “educational historic mecca.” Wilson said people walk the dirt paths for several reasons, like engagements, weddings, summer camps, events such as Lights on the Farm and more. What’s happening Heritage Farmstead gives public tours, o ers grounds admissions and tours of the Victorian home. “It’s beautiful to get up face to face with our animals,” Wilson said. “We have a mammoth Jackstock donkey back there named Poncho and we have pigs, sheep, goats, chickens and ducks.”
