Not much going on there currently with the CV-19 panic going on. More importantly, the museum was liquidated 3 or 4 years ago. It was a fascinating 2 hour or so, look back into another time of transportation. It's liquidation was a real loss to the local area.

In normal times some of the horse and dog events can be fun to watch, especially the annual carriage driving competition held in February. Most of the events are open free to spectators. Now the current owner is trying to convert it into a wedding/social event destination and an up-scale RV resort.
