The Village was established in the year 2000 with the primary purpose of educating school children as well as adults about the collective cultural history of the pioneer period (1750-1820) in our region. Five period hewn log houses, a log blacksmith shop, chicken house, and smokehouse along with other structures such as a loom house, woodsheds, necessaries, samp mortars and outdoor bake oven combine to create the ambiance of a small pioneer community.

Skilled historical reenactors in period dress demonstrate pioneer skills that were necessary, while on the weekend it is self guided and includes a historical trail drama as well as a special drama event at 1:00 pm on Saturday. Items are for sale in the Village Store (e.g. vintage stoneware, powder horns, bottled water, etc.) as well as from numerous vendors.

Admission is $5.00 per person, children under 5 are admitted free. Parking is free. 

Wolfpen Woods Pioneer Village is only open one week per year so make plans to attend this year's event.
