"They had a recreation of the local Indians lived until moving on complete with furs and bowls and fire in the middle! Very interesting. They had the oldest steps still standing, 300 years old and historians come just to examine these old stairs! Herr house was built in 1719, oldest home in western hemisphere. How they came over and settled in area. This was very interesting and would definitely stop and support this wonderful piece of American history." - Bonnie M.
