About this campground
This location is a beautifully preserved historic site featuring a reproduction fort built in 1864, along with an 1873 farmhouse, 1902 church, 1900 summer kitchen, stockade, blacksmith shop, lookout tower, sod house, gristmill, 1890s drugstore, museum, and newly added 1869 homestead cabin. The grounds transport visitors back in time with authentically furnished buildings and thousands of carefully curated historical artifacts, many of which remain fully operational—from vintage automobiles and player pianos to music boxes and early household appliances. Guests consistently praise the depth and quality of the collections, noting that exhibits rival those found in major museums.
