Summary: Impressive! A charming house with a lot of memorabilia of the homestead history. The property has a variety of birds and live stock that are accessible for viewing. The property manager was super friendly, helpful and knowledgeable about the property and its history. She encouraged our family members to assist in farm activities. Pure joy!!!
