Reviews
If your looking for original this is the place. Was surprised to see all the original equipment and how well it has been preserved.
If your looking for original this is the place. Was surprised to see all the original equipment and how well it has been preserved.. Gave me a sense of being in the 19th century. Twin, metal water wheels and some reconstructed buildings, with beautiful grassland. Small property in nature but very pretty. Wheelchair accessible. Some steps to downstairs room.
