Wonderful walk. Historical signage could be greatly improved. Certainly descriptions are almost assuredly false and/or cant be supported by historical records. Buildings are maintained better than some historical sites. There are bison nearby in a fenced area that you can see. This is a perfect outing for a nice walk. There is free admission and parking. Be sure to go in the cemetery. The gravestones are very interesting.

Very cool place unfortunately it was not opened up for the Public to go inside places. Looking forward to being able to visit when they are open some time.

Lovely place to walk around, beautiful buildings and large outdoor space for exploring.

This park gas a lot of interesting structures and history. Problem is we were expecting an event with interpreters. The event was cancelled and not well noted on the website. So viewing a few locked buildings wasnt what we wanted. Well visit again when its staffed.

Wide open space with some very cool, historic buildings. Only wish we could check out inside some of them. The bison are a nice bonus as well!

This was such a cool place because of all the history jammed into one little area. It is full of great picnic spots and we will definitely come back when theyre actually open so we can go inside the little houses!

Old world tiny town takes you back a couple hundred years. Great trails, some buffalo and plenty of parking.

Lovely spot today is like a trek through time. So amazing to see how people once lived. Park is very well maintained. You can also see American buffalo on your walk in!

Took the kids here on the day they brought the town to life. We really enjoyed seeing all the reenactments. My son is really into blacksmithing. You got to see the Forge in action. We really enjoyed being able to look inside the buildings and learn the history of the area. The Watermill was intriguing to the children.

A beautiful collection of historic buildings from around the area that have been moved to this site for preservation. Unfortunately there were no reenactors there when we passed through, but we really enjoyed the visit anyway. There are good signs at each building that include some history and where it was moved from.

Incredible place to walk around - either to get a 19th-century moment (all the buildings are still very well maintained) or enjoy nature through all the back trails. The buffaloes at the entrance are always a nice introduction!

Great place for a walk through history. Awesome seeing the bison.

Great location for a picnic or just some quality outdoor time. The grist mill is gorgeous and makes for unique photos.

Gorgeous place to walk the dogs! (Bring your own poop bags)

Beautiful property. It would have been so much more enjoyable if we could have seen into the buildings instead of just looking at pictures mounted outside of them. I feel as though it was a wasted trip for what we couldve seen online

Love this place! Fun to just walk around with the family and wonder what life was like 100+ years ago!

Amazing! A must see, even for young families. Lots of space for the kids to run around and very friendly volunteers. The reenactments are so fun!

Its a good sized historical hike! My family and i enjoyed the reenactments and the houses and cabins. You can bring your furry friends with you!

Great place to take kids. I have taken my kids several times and they love it. I brought some out of town friends there to view the 2017 Eclipse and everyone had a blast.

Very pretty spot to walk through. Nothing was open when we were there, but still enjoyed looking around. A good hour or so...

Fun and educational little town you can walk through. There were also buffalo you could get up close to.

This historic park exemplifies the best restored village. When one enters, and walks through the village, it gives one the nostalgic feeling of days gone by. One can imagine what it was like to live 175 years ago when church was close to cottage or small home. The grist mill is placed in the center of the village. Absolutely lovely village nestled in a pastoral setting. I was told the buildings were moved in from various Missouri areas.

Very nice a certainly a surprising find near KC. Worth the visit and is a great display of pioneer structures laid out in a way that makes you feel the history.

Loved coming here as a kid and my child loves coming here.

Interesting place to see how people were living not too long ago

Nice replica of an 1800s town. Be prepared to walk. Open all day from dawn to dusk

Such a great place to go and learn about our past. The buildings were moved from other places lovingly put back together and cared for. The reenactments were such a pleasure to watch. The craftsman are enjoyable to watch and talk to. If you get a chance be sure to go it is a hidden gem of Kansas City.

Very quiet and calming place. Went there to walk around with friends and loved the history of the place.

Lovely grouping of historic buildings from the 1800 hundreds. Y favorite part are the bison that live there!

Really beautiful place to walk around and/or take photos. Love the history and the upkeep. Seeing the bison is exciting as well!

Well maintained old buildings. This a charming place and is part of the wonderful Hodge park. The buildings are relocated from other place but are actually old homes, doctors offices, etc. This a fun place to walk around and enjoy beautiful Missouri.

That was a very neat little set-up and I like that everything was close enough together that it wasnt an ungodly walked between the houses but they were spaced far enough apart that it was fairly believable. Its also very neat that theyre genuinely historic although I do have to wonder about the headstones outside the church, because unless those are original to that spot thats a little creepy. I think it would be very cool to go to on a day when everything is open and they have their demonstrations unfortunately I missed that, however I will say I drove half an hour out of my way before leaving town for a 3-hour drive to go see this and I do not regret it at all. And also worth mentioning they do have handicap accessible trails which I thought was pretty neat as well and they also have bathrooms on site.

My kids and I have been here a few times, they enjoy the history and the people are always so helpful

Very disappointed!! They are letting this wonderful place fall into such disrepair - it’s terrible. Whoever is in charge should be ashamed!

I only go here to run The Wilderness Run, but the area is beautiful

Fun place to visit if you have an hour to spare! From the Bison to the old mill something to see.

Amazimg history and the bufflos are so cute

Wow. This was so great to see. We went during a Saturday when there were actors and it was like being in the old west.

Couldnt think of a nicer way to spend some time with the family

Great fun for families. Had a good time for Halloween

Cool Park! Love learning about history

Very interesting, people very knowledgable, enactment was so so, not sure exactly what was going on... Grounds were very well kept...

The grounds and historical buildings are well maintained and the park holds several different events throughout the year. Went during their trick or treating event and thought the volunteers did a wonderful job. Several living historians on site along with members from a local boy scout troop handing out candy.

Fun! We go with the kids just to walk around the old houses and see the Bison!

My wife and I took our goddaughter and her father to First Saturdays last weekend. It was a convenient, last minute idea that we thoroughly enjoyed. I went with my father in the 80s and had never been back until now. So much was the same that nostalgia was overwhelming at times. Its an unforgettable experience for a child. Adults dig it too, especially the reenactments and historical information. Alas, everyone loves the bison!!!

Love the nostalgia of the museum and it is free to visitors. You can bring your dogs too.

Very nice place and well-maintained love to history and the fact that they are preserving the old building from the past

Time traveling is possible..... instead of imagining how life was in the 1860 ca Missouri, come see! All of the buildings are true. You can do a self guided tour or visit on a first Saturday to see the costumed volunteers.

We just did the egg hunt with my son and it was a great time. We will definitely be coming back to enjoy the park during some of their other events.

Beautiful Historic Village!

Nice space. They hold great events for little ones. We trick or treated there and did an egg hunt.

Cool place to walk around and check out historical buildings. Buffalos on site to check out. Nice walking, running trail that leads to Hodge Park as well.

Love the place. Its my second home away from home

Nice walk. We were there on a day without the actors. It would have been nice to see into the buildings better, but the descriptions were good and I liked that there were pictures on the descriptions.

Fantastic trail! Great park

This place is awsum. The reinactment very entertaining.

Totally not authentic. I saw 3 airplanes fly over while I was there. Just kidding! Its a fun place to max out your step counter and get in some outdoors time. Loved it!

This museum is amazing. The walking trails are accessible anytime. The first Saturdays in spring and summer are living history reenactments! What an amazing way to learn history!

Lovely day with the kids. First Saturday exhibit was fun, educational and free!

Super cool park. Came on a Sunday. Not sure if the buildings can be toured during regular hours but the grounds can. They add visual interest to an otherwise bland landscape.

I grew up going here. Its beautiful - serene during off days and cheerfully bustling as a replica 1800s town during events. I will say that theres a bit of a walk to get to it, but you get to walk past the parks buffalo habitat. Go during an event, take a little cash to buy some candy or a souvenir from the General Store, and enjoy.

Maintained nicely. Great asset to the community

Great places for families, fans of scenic walking, and they have tons of great festivals.

Not worth going to unless you go on a day when the buildings are open. When they are closed, you are unable to see through the foggy plexiglass windows in each building. Unfortunately, also went on a day when there were scouts camping throughout the village. Hard to get the feel for a historic village with tents and chairs all over the place.

Such a fun experience! Great for all ages. There are gravel paths so keep that in mind for strollers. Smaller, pop up strollers dont do well.

Would have been excellent if the buildings would have been opened up. I was very disappointed. Our family have been to quite a few sites like this and this us the first one where you couldnt see inside the buildings. If we wanted to see pictures and some descriptions, as they had outside each building, we would have just gone on the internet.

Has the best pokemon go stops.

This was a favorite place to visit when I lived in the Liberty, MO area. Ive never been to Shoal Creek when the museum buildings were open to the public (during reenactments) however, it is still worth visiting. The history lessons, the scenery and the nearby Bison are all worth taking in.

A wonderful, tucked away treasure to step back into our past! A must see for history buffs and all kids to remember who we are and where we came from.

Great nature walk, will be better once the season opens!

A very historical small town on display for tourist. None of the bldgs were open but photos are displayed.

Nice outdoor park with some cool history to view and read about.

Cool park to visit. There are several interesting buildings to see.

Unfortunately we were there when the buildings were closed but it was still an interesting place.

Would have been better to have access to inside of historic homes during the week.

Great place fill of history.

Historic fun things to look at, plus its beautiful scenery. Always clean and well maintained. Lots of walking and moderate hills.

A hidden gem! You crest the hill and a small but complete 1800s town unfolds before you. Nestled in a valley, it feels as though youre in olden times... Great job of keeping it authentic too!

Wonderful gem not far from town. 80 acres taking you back in time. Great selection of old buildings, houses and even a church you can have wedding at.

Beautiful well maintained step back into history in the heart of the Northland

An awesome historic place that is amazing at historical preservation and educating the public! A must see place for you and the family!

People were great! Experience was an absolute! My family and I enjoyed oneself too the fullest! Thank you for keeping the dream alive!

Cool place grest to take the family for a free picnic, walk and some history!

This is a very interesting historic area to visit. We had special permission to camp out with my sons Cub Scout pack and it was a great location for sightseeing, education and (of course) lots of fun!

Great place for the family, nice displays on wildlife

Love the historical buildings

Scenic setting of a small 1800s community with several buildings set in the time period. Very serene.

Beautiful location to share with friends and family.

This place is amazing!

Love this place...

Its really cool to see all the old structures.

Place is very nice but workers dont really talk no one says much anything seem kind of rood out houses were nasty horrible parking lots of room but so far of a walk from everything

Wonderful place, everyone should see it

Beautiful scenery

Fun to walk around a old town setting be prepared to walk

Nice to walk and fly kites

Great Place for Pictures!
