Beginning with the covered wagon, then making stops in the 30’s, 50’s, 70’s, and 80’s…each major stepping stone is highlighted in the museum. With three of today’s largest manufacturers present in the museum, guests will then be able to tour three brand new, fully furnished/decorated manufactured homes.
