Historic Forestville
One small town, many big stories
Historic Forestville will operate on a limited schedule for the summer of 2023. This is for the safety of our visitors and staff due to the closure of the historic bridge on County Road 118. We hope to see you as part of a school field trip, at special events, and again in 2024!
Explore the choices and changes that faced the inhabitants of this area — from ancient peoples to today’s residents.
Round out the visit with a game of croquet or horseshoes on the lawn.
