Ballenberg operates as a living museum where history remains active rather than static. You can walk through 110 historic buildings that were moved piece by piece from different regions of the country.

Animals and Family Fun
The grounds host over 200 native farm animals and include a petting zoo for younger guests. This adds a layer of interaction that makes the past feel present for all ages.
