Should.be one of your first two stops.when visiting the area. More fascinating history here.than you would think. Guided.tour, call ahead for odd hours and.tour times. Volunteers so give them a break and work with their.schedules. Going here and the Antique Furniture museum will give.you a deeper.appreciation of what the earlier German settlers went thru to settle the area.

This wedding venue is BEAUTIFUL outside and inside! My wedding was in the beginning of April and the flowers on the property were bloomed! I loved that I walked down the aisle from the front of the crowd instead of through the crowd. It gave me the feeling that they werent even there and it was much more intimate between me and my husband! The do have an occupancy limit of 100 but on the plus side they let you decorate however you want (excluding putting holes in the Forke Store walls). We were able to use whichever vendors for food/drinks (we DIY everything). The price is beyond reasonable for the value your getting. If I had it to do over again I would pick this venue again and again!!!

I enjoyed hearing Gemischter Chor Harmonie sing last Saturday afternoon and afterward the dancers showed how to perform a few German dances. What a joy to hear and see them all again. The market was above my budget, but I picked some information for friends, and the food was delicious. The Market was, as far as I am concerned, a successful venture for Conservation Plaza. The gardens still gave a hint of blossom here and there, and anyone in the area should see the historic Forke Store on site.
