"Historic Cold Spring Village is an Early American open-air living history museum." Encompassing 22 acres in Cape May, New Jersey, visitors to the village can take part in a variety of interactive, education, and hands-on family activities. The village maintains a small farm where "heritage crops" are grown, 26 beautifully restored buildings, and a staff of historically-clothed interpreters, who educate and entertain visitors regarding the lifestyles, issues, trades, and crafts of turn of the century New Jersey.

The site offers an events calendar, visitor information, detailed information about the educational programs offered, both in class programs and programs at the village, a section for crafting and recipe ideas, and a listing of recent press releases.

This listing is a duplicate of identification number 9752.

John Sevier (1745-1815), early pioneer, Indian fighter, governor of the failed State of Franklin, and first governor of Tennessee, built a plantation home, which he called Marble Springs, when he came to the state capital, Knoxville, in 1796. The site had been a way station for travelers along the road to Knoxville. He and his wife, Bonny Kate, lived at Marble Springs until his death. The only original building, the two-story main cabin, has been restored and furnished with Sevier family items and other frontier pieces. Additions include a kitchen, a loom house, a smokehouse, a spring house, and a barn. The Walker Cabin, circa 1830, has been moved to the site and features artifacts and a video presentation.

A second website for the site can be found here.

The site offers a short film, tours, workshops, educational programs, and occasional recreational and educational events (including living history events).

The Elk Grove Heritage Park is operated by the Elk Grove Historical Society. The park is notable for the impressive variety of restored buildings it holds, each chronicling a different part of Elk Grove's history. Highlights of the park include the San Joaquin Justice Court, the Rhoads School, and a reconstructed Elk Grove House. The reconstructed house now serves as a living house museum and gift shop.

The site offers detailed historical and visitor information regarding the park. In addition, the webpage is part of the greater Elk Grove Historical Society and thus contains remarkably detailed information about many aspects of Elk Grove's history along with a museum store and limited online access to the society's research library.

The park is described in entry 13899 alongside the Elk Grove Historical Society and Rhoads Schoolhouse.

Adena was the 2,000-acre estate of Thomas Worthington (1773–1827), sixth governor of Ohio and one of the state's first United States Senators. The mansion house, completed in 1806–1807, has been restored to look much as it did when the Worthington family lived there, including many original Worthington family furnishings. The house is one of only three houses designed by Benjamin Henry Latrobe still standing in the U.S. Latrobe is considered the first professional American architect and served as architect of the US capitol under President Thomas Jefferson. A new Museum and Education Center features interactive exhibits that use the stories of people connected to Adena to give visitors a picture of life in Ohio in the early 1800s.

The Friends of Adena website, complimentary to the Ohio Historical Society's website, may be found here.

The mansion offers exhibits, tours, and educational programs.
