Heritage Park says the site’s 127-acre historical village will open for the 2021 season on May 22 with enhanced COVID-19 safety measures.

Visitors to Heritage Park will have to purchase timed tickets to help the facility avoid overcrowding and will be asked to follow one-way traffic flow at spots that can get congested.

In addition, visitors will be encouraged to wear masks and keep six feet apart from others. Staff will also wear masks when engaging with guests.
