When we went it was cold outside. Only my daughter and myself showed up. The staff stiff did the entire tour and reenactments. The poor woodworker built a stool in 30 degree weather! He also made all the costumes as his tailoring shop was closed for covid.if I had money I would seriously donate to them. It was amazing.

Had been looking forward to a visit here as part of a historical tour of the Revolutionary War. Came with my brother, a fellow veteran, and other family members. I had been to the museum before and thought they would like the medical exhibits. We arrived a little before 3pm. We were met by an unfriendly young woman in the museum shop. We were told that the tours were over and all we were allowed to see was the shop. There should have been tours every hour with last one at 4pm. Having been to numerous other sites on our trip where people went out there way to make our experience terrific this was a huge disappointment …

The Museum does have an elevator, but the grounds are dirt so we suggest those with wheelchairs visit on dry days for the best experience.
