Troy Historic Village — Attraction in Troy

Always something fun to do, but the Troy historic village. There are buildings that have been moved there to show what it is like to go to school, to go to church, and to live and go to the general store or go get some blacksmithing.

Unfortunately right before my bridesmaids were set to start, another bridal party showed up. The Village staff was excellent; they immediately went to the Bridal party and explained that I had a contract and our event was private.
