What an awesome concept for a museum and a great way to preserve these historic buildings! We had no idea what to expect from this museum but were pleasantly surprised by the cute little skits performed by actors, who were also quite knowledgeable about the houses and businesses they occupied.

This was such an amazing experience! The place is beautiful, the history is rich, and the actors were fabulous! Not only can you go into almost rvery house there is some there are actors just going about theri business and they will tell you how was it living there 200 years ago. I was feeling unsure at first about it, I'm not very social, but once I went into the first house I was mesmerized! Also every hour or so, the actors will gather at the center square of the city and perform a short scene, that was just a cherry on top! From what we saw, you can even get married in the church there. I cannot recommend this place enough! I will visit it again, no questions asked. Sending a lot of love...
