Summary:
We went for the Thanksgiving dinner so spent a couple of hours going through the village beforehand . It is well done and so interesting. The "cast" are well versed in the history and multi talented. The dinner was absolute 10/10. Everything made from their own garden produce was impressive. We'll definitely be back.
