The handsome restored main house of Sully, built in 1794, is furnished with Federal period furniture. At Sully the clapboard exterior siding has been removed
from the walls of several of the outbuildings so that visitors can view the 18th century log building construction. Most of the outbuildings: kitchen,
laundry, smokehouse, and the stone dairy are original to Sully. Representative 18th century slave cabin, plus formal and kitchen gardens have been constructed at Sully.

This natural and organic food market has a large selection of fresh fruits and veggies, fish and meat counters, wines, bakery and what I partically enjoy a good choice of frozen gluten free cookies.
