Wilcox Farms in my ancestorial home of Roy/Yelm WA on Hart Lake Rd, was doing this on a smaller scale back in the 1950s. They had reassembled the town on their property. The school my grandmother, and mother attended, the post office, and my grandfather's hip-roof barn was added later. They were still there in the 1980s
