Kastning House
Visitors to the Kastning House can take a self-guided tour of the property, which includes the main house and several outbuildings. The house has been restored to its original condition, with period furnishings and artifacts on display. The outbuildings include a smokehouse, root cellar, and springhouse, which were essential for the family's survival in the isolated wilderness.
