Such a fun place to explore! Great for kids and adults. Plenty of local history, a working water wheel, gardens, orchard, and a little kitchen serving up in house made goodies. The staff dress in period costumes which is cute, and admission is cheap.

Take a hike at this Indigenous owned center dedicated to teaching about local plants, animals, and the original people on this land. They often have rattlesnakes and black widow spiders on display! My kids used to love going here. There is a boardwalk so it's accessible for most people.
