Ok, I didn't know this place was here. We came to Kelley Park for the Japanese friendship garden, which was disappointing. We decided to explore and found this entire deserted town. It's amazing! I would have loved to have a picnic on the lawn and just enjoy this old-timey town. We spoke with one of the tour guides that just happened to be there and she was great. She had a lot of fascinating info. There is a gift shop, ice cream shop, and candy store that are open on weekends. Also, there's a trolley that runs on weekends and special events. I am really excited to find this hidden gem and I can't wait to come back. Check out the website for the list of special events. The guide said that the historic cars event is really cool, it's like being on a movie set.
