This
was
a
very
pleasant
stop
as
part
of
a
days
road
trip.
Peterboro
is
one
of
those
sleepy
little
farming
villages
that
have
been
turned
into
bedroom
communities
and
thus
have
limited
attraction
for
the
visitor.
However
this
hamlet
has
three
great
sights
to
see.
The
Gerritt
Smith
Estate,
the
National
Abolition
Hall
of
Fame,
and
the
General
Store.
See
the
reviews
for
the
Hall
of
Fame
and
the
General
Store.
Parking
is
next
to
the
unassuming
white
house
just
north
of
the
village
square.
There
is
a
$5.00
per
person
suggested
donation.
The
park
staff
was
very
friendly
and
helpful
and
knowledgeable
about
all
things
Smith
family
and
abolition.
The
park
has
signage
and
docents
to
help
you
understand
the
site
and
what
took
place
there.
There
are
a
few
buildings
left
from
the
time
period,
however
sadly
the
large
estate
house
is
gone.
Good
for
adults.
My
wife
and
I
spent
about
an
hour
or
so
looking
around.
My
only
disappointment
was
the
lack
of
a
picnic
table
in
the
park
or
in
the
village
square
for
a
picnic
lunch.
However,
don't
bring
a
lunch!
Instead
go
to
the
Peterboro
General
Store
and
Deli.
