After visiting the Iron Bridge, we drove a few minutes to an open air folk museum called Bliss Hill. The town depicts a Victorian mining and iron ore processing town. Some of the buildings are Victorian rescues from other areas that have ben re-erected on this site. The industrial facilities are on-site originals. Many of the stores had period-dressed docents who were happy to give us a history lesson. The kids to to exchange money to historic change (shillings, hay-pennies, etc.), and spend the money in town. It was also steam locomotive day, so we got a further Victorian vibe with these beauties rolling through! We parked the Tesla next to one ;)
