Mendenhall Homeplace
A well-preserved example of 19th-century domestic architecture, this homestead (including the main house and several outbuildings) sits in a cove along a peaceful creek. As Quakers, the Mendenhalls opposed slavery, and here you can find one of the few surviving false-bottom wagons used to help those enslaved escape to freedom on the Underground Railroad.
Come in July, when kids can learn how to make a corn-husk doll or design a quilt square during the Village Fair.
