Prospect Hill Settlement Historic Park, New Berlin
This park is located in a historic district. Weston's Antique Apple Orchards is across the street. Weather was rainy, cold, about 40-45 F. Decent Parking. Cupola, log cabin, school house, carriage house. A place to get out of the rain. It was nice the way the buildings were close together. You could almost imagine an old time town. Aermotor windmill. Some old farm equipment too.
For some more information see http://www.newberlin.org/residents/community/history--landmarks/historic-district.aspx
There was also a brochure behind glass in the park.
