There are exhibits showing classrooms, ladies clothing, woodworking, and all sorts of odds and ends. I found an ancestor in one of the class pictures lining the walls upstairs. I bought a book on the Centennial celebration of Frederic, and was thrilled to see pictures of my relatives in it. My grandmother was born in 1901 in Maple Forest Twnshp. My Grandfather was born in 1898 near Pere Cheney. His parents lost three children to the diptheria epidemic there before the town was abandoned. All in all it was a great trip to the past walking through this museum. I loved it.

We love the Shetler Family Dairy, and have been buying their milk for 10 years. We also love their…read moreyogurt smoothies and cream. We love that they do not homogenize the milk, which makes it healthy for the heart, the way milk is supposed to be drank. They also flash pasteurize to avoid killing off all the healthy nutrients in the milk. Store-bought milk is homogenized (very unhealthy for the human heart) and ultra pasteurized, which kills essential nutrients. Their milk tastes way better than the store milk I grew up on. Their chocolate milk is also amazing. I don't know if they still do the milk plant tours, but if they do, be sure to go on one. I remember years back, Kaleb Shetler showed a group of us how they process and bottle the milk. It was amazing. Each year they also have their Open Barn, which is amazing for the whole family. There is only one thing that I don't like, and that is their ice cream. I am an ice cream fan. Their ice cream used to be super gritty and I stopped eating it. Just had some recently and it is too dense and crystalized. I do, however, think it is good that they use fewer bad ingredients in their ice cream, which some other local dairies use. The ingredients list on their ice cream is shorter than others, which is a good thing. We will continue to support the Shetler dairy for as long as we continue to live in the area.

5 STARS!!!! WHY? BECAUSE IT'S AWESOME!!!!…read more I don't know why anyone would rate it any less than 5 stars. Where else can you get cream line milk in glass bottles fresh from the farm?!?!?! No, seriously, where? The place is small and their hours are 11-5, but if you can make it there they have amazing products and it feels like a step back in time to a place where things were a little more simple, a little higher quality, and a whole lot more delicious. They have other products as well. Cheese and meat. I mean, really, what else do you want out of a little Dairy Farm Store? I mean, other than girls dancing the can-can or a juggling clown, this place is one of my favorite stops on my way north. It's pricey, but so is a Mercedes and I don't see anyone complaining about that. You get what you pay for here. They also take American Express, which is a plus for a business traveler looking for a place to spend his daily per diem.
