The center, now under development, is situated on Garbers Church Road in Harrisonburg, with a hilltop site providing vistas spanning the Valley. The 14-acre campus has been designed as a farmstead with a central garden. Plans include a reception center, 1829 Mennonite log house, summer kitchen, vintage Rockingham County barn, 1854 Burkholder - Myers house, one-room school house and a meetinghouse.

Visitors will explore the life and faith practices of Mennonites and Brethren as they tour the farmstead. Methods of farming and providing for a family will be demonstrated. The relationships of individuals, families, and community will be studied. At the conclusion of the tour, visitors may reflect on their observations of these simple and peace-loving people.

The site will also feature a Visitor Center with a gift shop offering books, art, crafts, and special momentos.
