A nicely laid out park area allowing you a short walk through time. Guided tours start at the top of the hour or you can do a self guided tour with a map which includes descriptions on the back of the different buildings. There is also a small history museum and video in the visitor's entrance. Was fun to walk through and show the kids a look at what life used to be like. Took us a little over an hour.

Such a fun afternoon stepping back in time. I took my kids and I'm not sure who had more fun, me or them!

Lots of cute Shawnee items. Area wasn't open yet. It is now, though. Fun for the family.

The first time we went, there were characters in 1920's garb. Then we went the second time to go on a full blown tour. It is worth the very small fee to enter. 5 and under get in free. Super fun for the family. You can even feed the chickies!

?Marvelous Museum experience with a most knowledgeable womyn tour guide!The female (and golden retriever) comradarie in the wonderful Gift Shop added to a most delightful day!However, an essential and most significant component was missing the 1929 Museum...The Indigenous people's story and contributions as the town is named Shawnee...where is their story told??

It feels like a 1920s time capsule! It was really well kept and interesting. Look forward to the renovations being complete so there isn't construction going on.

Very neat place. Definitely stop by and visit if you can. And be sure and feed the chickens treats they sell, just because. Staff is super nice.

Very nice learning about the history of Shawnee in a relaxed and hands on way. The personnel are exceptional and very attentive to small children. The farm house was amazing, it was built in the late 1800's and really showed how tough it was to live in that time period. Our grandchildren enjoyed feeding the chickens kale from the victory garden. From the 1920 barbershop, the car dealership, grocery store and the other buildings were fun. I would recommend everyone taking a few hours to visit you will enjoy it.

Great place to hold meets, sales & all kinds of community eventsThis recreation of an old Shawnee Town shows what Shawnee might have looked like 150 yrs ago. The town hall can be rented for events ( like the Fiber Arts Show & Sale this weekend) or monthly meetings ( like the Shawnee Garden Club). Lots of outdoor events during the summer. A great place to visit & tour!

This is a really cool project! the little town used to be in the style of the 1800s, but they have updated it to be reminiscent of a 1920s era. They have these really cute vintage gasoline pumps and a neat little gazebo and these adorable storefronts. They also have the sort of old fashioned peppermint stick candies! of course, there's plenty of history to be had and a lovely garden. They use it for educational purposes, which unfortunately is not getting much use this year... so hey, if any of you are out there homeschooling your kids and wanting a day trip? This would be a good place to go!
