Wonderful program but I don't like supporting a place celebrating Sibley. He was a terrible person.

We enjoyed Rhea's tour today. She knows her history very well. The buildings are in good shape with many period furnishings. The gift store has some nice items including beautiful 25 cent post cards. Make sure yiu know tour times before yoy go.
