Ranger Tad's (sp?) dedication to this site made this more than an educational experience. Learning the many facts would have interesting enough, but his telling of the story was heartfelt as well as expert.

I grow up in the area and had never been to the house. Starting with the ride up to the property, the trip was entertaining. Exploring the house with the guides in different areas was very informative and it is nicely preserved.

The place sits right in the middle of a well-heeled suburb but the land has been so well conserved that you feel as if you are a thousand miles from the nearest town while you are there.
