Powell Farm
The Powell farmhouse, dating from 1750, is the only structure originally located at the Village. The Powell farm is a working barnyard complex with animals, barns, pastures, and an apple and pear orchard. Stocked with authentic tools, kitchen, and household items, the furnishings within the house reflect the long generations of ownership by the Powell family. Only a short distance from the house, the pig pen has been restored on the site of its original stone floor.
