I'm always a fan of Heritage Parks. This one has several historic buildings that you can self tour or be guided by a docent if you're looking enough to be there when one's around. Be sure to go with the Railroad Society is operating. Great fun for the kids.

Our 7 year old grandson was blown away with operating the 3 model trains set up outdoors and observing the model trains setup indoors. Our 5 year old granddaughter also enjoyed time outdoors in the village. They didn't want to leave.

A perfect pairing with the Mission. …
