About 100 people visited the Rentschler Farm Museum on a warm Sunday afternoon in Saline.
"It's been a good, steady turnout," said Bob Lane, who dutifully clicked every time a person, family or friends entered the property to tour the museum.

One of the most popular attractions for kids was the table where they painted pumpkins.
