It's New England's version of Harold Warp's Pioneer Village in Nebraska, or the Hawk Museum in North Dakota, or Henry Ford's Greenfield Village in Michigan. This place is so big -- 39 buildings (and a boat) scattered across 45 acres -- that it uses a jitney bus to haul people around. Twenty-four of the buildings (and the boat) were also hauled, from someplace else to here.
The imposing 1901 Round Barn is ticket booth and orientation center for our day of exploration. Attentive staff recommended the exhibition of duck decoys, and the historic quilts ("Art of the Needle") -- and interpreted our blank expressions correctly. We were directed to the jitney.
