Based on an 18th-century village, this open-air museum is the best way to get an overview of early Pennsylvania Dutch culture, and Mennonite culture in particular. Costumed staff are on hand to demonstrate tin-smithing, among other things, and there's a tavern, gun shop and several beautiful crafts exhibits.
