The Babbie Museum consists of 17 buildings and this year we are excited to feature our new one-room schoolhouse.  Some of our other must-see out buildings include a fully operational Blacksmith Shop, Shingle Mill, Sawmill, a small Theater with an Original 8-minute historic movie of life 100 years ago, the fully-restored, 200-year-old Goshen General Store and displays of maple sugar making, ice harvesting, butter making and more. We will also be unveiling two new murals by local artist Greg Badger on opening weekend. Please plan on visiting the museum this season.  Hope to see you here!
