The country doctor’s 20-room Victorian mansion is the cornerstone of the village that includes the Platts' General Store circa 1900, the 157-year-old Huckins one-room schoolhouse, the 1883 Banner Pioneer Log Cabin, The Decker Log Barn, The Deckerville train depot, a Victorian church relocated from Forestville, a 1937 hunting cabin by a WW2 Navy Cross recipient, and what is probably the state’s last remaining historic Barn Theater.
