Meet the Hale family and see their Log House, learn their history and see their animals. Stop by Crafts and Trades to learn about candle-making, glassblowing, basket-making, blacksmithing, spinning and weaving, broom-making and pottery-making. Go to the Gatehouse to find the School Program Calendar, Teacher Information and Special Events.
