This morning we visited Old Prairie Town, otherwise known as Ward Meade Park. We took the tour, which was great, very educational, and the kids really got a kick out of how people used to "rough-it"!
We visited the Potwin Drug Store for ice cream cones, they really liked that, it is a replica with a lot of actual antique pieces from a old drug store, and it has a working soda fountain.
We walked the botanical gardens there beside the mansion, the kids really enjoyed that when they found out that it is where their Nana and Papa got married almost 30 years ago now. We spent a good three hours at Old Prairie Town and there was never a dull moment. 
We had a very "smart" (as the kids said) tour guide that actually told us about when she went to school in a one room school house like the one there on the property that she was showing us. The kids were fascinated! She did a good job keeping their attention. If you've never been, we recommend it highly.
