This county museum collects and preserves historic houses and buildings from the area. During the summer tourist season there are docents and re-enactors. I always like museums like this since they show how ordinary people lived their lives in the past.

Some photos.

For those who don't know, I live in a converted campervan and travel around the country, posting photo diaries of places that I visit. I am currently wintering in Florida. At the museum. They’ve re-paved the walkways since the last time I was here.
