 Overview
 Description
Okay, so admittedly the site is Active & definitely not abandoned. However, if you pay $20 for a two day admission (per person), you get free reign for as long as you want inside old structures/houses/etc. as long as they aren't closed for repairs like the covered bridge (4/4/10). Some of them are old, and like the meeting houses aren't really used; hence closed. I realized that there are some awesome shots to be had, so i'm adding it into the DB. There's interesting fun to be had in here IMHO!

    - Two Ox named Lance & Henry
    - Farmhouses
    - Closed off rooms that are notated "Staff Only" That might have something interesting behind them.
