The special events are always a good way to experience life in 1899. It's worth checking out, especially for those kids who can't imagine life before electronics.

The historic site has tour guides operating as town residents from1899. It is fun to hear about their life and work, lots of work. It was still too hot to hike beyond the historic buildings, but there would be more to explore. I would have liked to visit the old Zumbro cemetery. Great combo to also Tour nearby Mystery cave.

We visited Forestville with our 5 year old grandson. He really enjoyed the outdoor setting under the big trees. He was somewhat interested in learning about all the items in the old General store and the family home (too much he couldn't touch), but loved walking through the big kitchen garden. He helped grind corn and then fed the many chickens which were wandering through the little old town. It was a hot day but the huge old trees kept the area shady and beautiful. We had a great time.

This was a beautiful historic village. You can pay a fee to tour through the buildings. Guides are dressed in historic costume and talk to you as if it was the 1800s. There are a lot of antiques and other artifacts to see in the house, store and stables. Walk down the road and you will see signs marking the site of other buildings that are no longer standing. Not to mention this is an absolutely beautiful area of Minnesota.

We are staunch supporters of the MN Historical Society and we were not disappointed with our first visit to this location. The docents were very knowledgable and able to effectively communicate a lot about life in Forestville in 1899.

Go back to 1899 with people dressed appropriately. You even get a treat in the kitchen! Feed chickens, tour the garden, and take time to browse the old store: many interesting items.

When we visited they were re-enacting a civil war era time. They were even shooting off the cannons. Everyone was wearing classic union uniforms with classic flags and such. When we crossed the bridge from the parking lot it was like stepping into another world. It felt like going back in time. All of the buildings are perfectly preserved and really neat to see. You can really lose yourself out here and get into that 1880s state of mind.

We went to the park not knowing what to expect and were delighted with the entire program of guides, historical settings and of course, learning how to make apple butter. From watching bread being baked in wood fired ovens to stirring the apple "stew" in a bubbling copper pot over an open fire was to get some idea of life in the 1800's. Not to mention the pay off at the end and getting to taste everything. I would have eaten a lot more if no one was looking! Fun to see all of the horses and riders as the trails are quite extensive. A hike up to the Zumbro cemetery is very interesting - but it IS an uphill hike. Great family outing and a beautiful drive.

Forestville is one of those unique places that you might not think of visiting. The whole town, which consists of a Store, one home, and a few barns is exactly as it was in 1899. When you take the tour you meet the towns "residents" (actors) that take you through the bulidings and tell you all about life in the 1800's. Most of the things that you see inside the store and house are original....not just period but the original items!!! If you ask one of the towns people a modern question the will just look at you like your crazy!!! The tour is 7.00/person, well worth it!!!

Tours run continuously throughout the day, led by costumed characters from the town. You can also take a look around without a tour, but you wouldn't be able to go into any of the buildings.The store and house were interesting with lots of items from the time period. It's nice to remind yourself of the way things used to be.
