More than our buildings
The buildings that make up the Historic Village have fascinating family and community history and sometimes downright surprising stories related to their move to Mumford. But your experience when you visit will be so much more! Experience history coming to life as you talk with interpreters, join walking tours, see trade folks practicing and preserving their craft, smell locally grown and harvested dishes being prepared in our historic village, and put together the pieces of all our stories that got us to where we are now.
