The village contains both original buildings and restorations primarily from the late 1800’s through the early 1900’s. Among the furnished buildings one finds homes of the 19th century, a one-room school, a log church and log jail, operating blacksmith and print shops, merchandise in the general store, and a variety of medical equipment from a foot-treadle dentist’s drill to a Civil War amputation kit in the Medical Building.

The Schweinfurth Museum and Interpretative Center, constructed in 1995 with funds donated by Carl Lincoln Schweinfurth, houses the Historical Society’s collections and memorabilia.
