    Stonefield in Cassville, United States, offers visitors a glimpse into 19th-century rural Wisconsin life. This open-air museum features restored buildings from the 1800s, including a farmstead, schoolhouse, and blacksmith shop. Visitors appreciate the authentic representation of pioneer life and the opportunity to explore historic structures. The site's peaceful setting along the Wisconsin River adds to its charm. However, some guests note that the experience can be brief, and the museum's appeal may vary depending on one's interest in local history.
