A fascinating "small world" awaits! Enchanting miniature rooms and houses, each displaying a variety of small scale furnishings. The star of this exhibit is the lovely late Victorian house filled to the attic with tiny treasures and it's specially noted for the "stone" work at its base, its 8,000 hand cut clapboards and mysterious ghost!

From ice-cutting to spring plowing, the cycle of seasons on the farm represented by original tools. Most tools displayed were donated by area residents once used in their homes and on their farms. Find out how much you know about farm tools by trying the Q & A board. An unusual experience!

Experience the lifestyle & culture of Westchester's first inhabitants, the Mohegan Indians. Enter the predawn setting of a Mohegan village.
