Overall, me and my family enjoyed touring this educational attraction. The existing staff were…read morelovely and did their job well. I do have some notes though. There was a decent amount of outdoor walking required to go through the exhibits. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, I just recommend either bringing a drink or visiting when the weather is cooler. During the walk we encountered a friendly dragonfly, which made it worth it. The village seemed to be understaffed, because only half of the buildings had guides to show us around. For the deserted buildings, we had to guess what things did what. The place we assumed to be the woodcarvers shop looked like there would normally be a staff person there, but their station was empty. this concerned me because we had smaller children in our party, and some of the sharp carving tools were left on the tables. Other than that, staff that were present gave wonderful demonstrations of the profession they represented. Most notably, the weaver and the blacksmith. The weaver walked us through the whole process from the cleaning of cotton to sewing the final fabrics together into clothing. The blacksmith worked in a functional smithery and showed us how they created a metal hook using actual fire and metal tools.

Great place to go back in time. So much fun to explore. The people that work here make the…read moreexperience. It's easy to tell they love to teach and care about this place. You get to go back in time to see how the blacksmith and woodworker functioned, tour the old buildings and learn their stories. It's just a great time.

Went there to renew my drivers license twice in 2 weeks. The staff was good to me the first time…read morebut the second time they were rude. It was soon to be closing time and the system said I wasn't eligible to renew so she gave me a number to call - Montgomery DMV. I called them and when the lady on the other line cleared me and I went back to finish getting my license, the lady looked me in the eye and locked the door and walked away. EXTREMELY rude. When I told the lady at the Montgomery office what happened, she said she wasn't surprised! I guess this is common for a DMV but where's the "Southern Hospitality"? Ended up going online and paying the extra fee to renew my license there. Terrible experience.

Bless your heart. A…read morelittle outdated as a whole building (the courthouse) but folks definitely have that southern hospitality about them. I saw a lawyer come in dressed in something that she should have worn at a club though. Even another attorney joked with her about it and she just laughed it off and said she didn't have time to iron. The city itself isn't too bad. I don't think I've come across anyone yet that was ever rude or not helpful. And the area is spread apart just enough - right down the street is Alabama side so you also have to watch what side you're on if you're trying to locate something.
