Nice place to visit and hike, well marked and maintained trails

This is a very nice place to visit. The museums were pretty cool especially the native American exhibit. It would be nice to see more local native American stuff though. I liked the statue too but the scenery walking the trails were the best part and that's part is free. I highly recommend visiting here.

Have visited the exhibits on other occasions. This time, enjoyed a long walk on the outer trail loops. Old foundations and brick factory add interest.
