The Way it Was
Tipton- Haynes is a great place to visit. The grounds are a place where you can let the kids run and hike. The visitor center is an excellent place to learn the history surrounding Johnson City. The day we were there they were making maple syrup like they used to and they had a re-enactor in the cabin explaining life in the hills. It was a a neat place to go to learn and get the kids out of the car on a trip. They have all kinds of activites throughout the year highlighting the different things occuring on a farm from this era.

Free or cheap adventure
This site has historic buildings in a pretty setting. If you keep an eye on the website calendar there are special events were you can learn old-fashion talents such as making fibers from flax or watch reenactments. They also have nature related events such as bird-watching and learning about native plants. I always enjoy the small hiking loop, pond, and stream on the property. The small natural cave is especially fun for kids (very small and safe). If you go the right time of year wild blackberries and raspberries frequent the property. You can generally visit for free, or a very small fee for certain events I also like going during the native plant sales during the summers. It is a good way to avoid planting invasive species in your flower garden.
