This place takes a whole lot of history and gets it to you quick and efficiently. Very nice museum and interpretive center, not overdone or to much like others I have been to. Very economical price, $5 per adult. Nice grounds and trails with very good information. Bring some bug repellant if it has been raining. Would go again!
