Hear the colorful stories of the German immigrants who settled here in the 1800s, the decline in the 1900s and the restoration efforts that have resulted in the charming village we have today, listed on the National Register of Historic Places. You will see many of the 1,500+ historic homes, gardens, and commercial buildings that make up this 233-acre district. Both walking and "step on" coach tours are offered, led by resident guides.
