somerset historical center印象

Go to the Historical Center every year in September for Mountian Craft Days. A nice little festival with crafters in their costumes demonstrating native crafts make it more realistic than other craft shows just selling merchandise. Great local organizations offering up delicious food choices. My favorite is Beulah Church's Chicken Pot Pie!

The center was ok, but it seem that there was not much there. We had more fun driving around the area then at the center itself.

If you have any interest in Somerset County at all and what rural life in Western PA is all about, don't miss this. Come when it's not too busy -- during Mountain Crafts Days in September it's mobbed, and you want to take your time. Excellent display of exhibits.

An excellent film begins the visit. Exhbits cover farming from Indians to modern day. Nice little gift shop.For groups they will do a "spotza" party!

This museum is a jewel set in the countryside of Somerset county, PA. Thoughtfully laid out with interesting and excellent exhibits. We stopped at a great time and were treated to a guided tour of the center's outdoor buildings. Would love to go back with the grandkids. Easily accessed from the PA turnpike also.

My sister selected this location to take photos of a friend. The old buildings and covered bridge were very interesting. It would be nice to visit when demonstrations are being given. The grounds were very nice.

We went to the center for Mountain Craft Days. The place is in a beautiful wooded setting. It has the an array of farm buildings and antique machinery as well as demonstrations of the skills and occupations that were indispensable to life in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. The craft days which are held in September adds a number of crafters scattered throughout the center with a nice variety of handicrafts for sale. There is something here for all members of the family.

September would be the best time to visit this center but I believe it is open all year round. It has a lot of interesting exhibits that will appeal to adults and children alike. There is usually some good food available for purchase or you can bring your own and have a picnic. It will be busy during the Mountain Crafts Days but there will be a lot to see so it may be worth scheduling your visit for this time.

We went here because we had seen it in a magazine. We didn't know it existed. The drive was beautiful and the grounds were covered with period style buildings - houses, barns, split rail fences. The staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating. It was quiet because of a weekday but that made it even more lovely to explore. Going in the fall is so beautiful!

If you are interested in the pioneer days, or in how farms were run in the 18th, 19th and early 20th centuries, this is the place for you. They have some of the best preserved old farm equipment that I have ever seen, some wonderful old pieces.The methods used on the old farms are well explained too. Some of these methods are being brought back to use on small organic farms today.Remember also that at the time of the American Revolution, Western Pennsylvania was the “Wild West”. You learn about that here.They have a wonderful Genealogical Research Library here too.Some of the things on site include a 1770s Farmstead featuring a recreated Settler's Cabin, a 1830s Farmstead featuring a circa 1795 Farmhouse, Smoke House, Detached Kitchen, and Barn, the 1859 Walter's Mills Covered Bridge, and a 1860s Maple Sugar CampAdmission fees;Adult ..
