It includes the Civil War era farm house of LaFayette and Elizabeth Funk, the horse barn and outbuildings, the Funk Gem & Mineral Museum of LaFayette II, and an antique farm implement showroom. We welcome thousands of visitors each year. Our mission is to honor and preserve the past and to educate present and future generations...
