They have a speaker who comes out in costume and discusses the entire trail. What decision had to be make, how difficult the route was, etc. (this part takes place outside)
You then go inside and the speaker discusses the items that would be taken on such a journey. There are several original items on display. They also discuss what the children, men and women's roles were on the journey.
They had a hands on display of toys used back in the day, books, dress up items to play with, and people in costume from that era. The boys got a kick out of playing with the toys.
These were also on display. If you click on the photo you can read what is on the boxes...it is quite a hoot.
