Since this was accepted via AfC, I felt the need to explain tags. I am tagging it for notability, because the only coverage presented is primary, a reference and very small, wholly local coverage (one small town newspaper). I'm also adding a tone article, as although this isn't outright advert, it does have a promotional tone and a bit of puffery. Further I'm adding a cleanup guideline, as the amount of images is excessive and needs to be trimmed to what is most important. This shouldn't be a brochure for this museum/village.

Apologies for any errors on my part, or breaches of etiquette: I am brand new to this experience. I modeled the article after articles on similar subjects, such as the Museum of Appalachia and the Great Smoky Mountains Heritage Center, and thought the buildings deserved their picture shown as much as the extensive galleries I've seen on articles for art museums. If I'm wrong I would welcome an edit, but most of all I would like the unsightly tags to be removed. I included a citation from the Charleston Gazette, West Virginia's largest publication, for notability purposes. Heritage Farm has also been featured on US national television and in national publications, two of which are mentioned in the article. I would also think that an affiliation with the Smithsonian Museum would merit at least a stub of an article, but I welcome discussion on that matter. As far as tone, I had a feeling this would be something I would struggle with (it is my first wikipedia article) but, apart from perhaps a few descriptive words that I felt were useful, I'm not sure what to change. Again, I would be happy for others to suggest passages to be changed or how they could be changed, I would just like the tags removed from what I feel is an article at least on par with others of its ilk.
