    Very interesting history explained by very interested staff member. Afterward we were free to wander through and around buildings learning more. Close to hiking trails so complete your visit by walking along the Logging Train Trail or connect to another trail going up or along the Beaufort Range.

    Free admission, which was great. Front gate staff wasn't super helpful or informative. What was helpful and informative was happening upon a volunteer named David who was a wealth of knowledge information and willingness to spend time giving us an impromptu tour. Learned so much in a short amount of time we had there. Hoping the McLean Mill will reinstill the tours. The gift shop closed early but when you have some few and far between visitors, perhaps staying open would be nice. Overall a good visit and will make more time for it next time.

    Big parking lot and a nice walk. A new campsite for tents and rvs is being completed and will be ready for summer time.

    Absolutely beautiful in the fall! Saw some river offers in the logging pond. Lots of trails to walk around, educational plaques everywhere. The site is right in the middle of a forest with the mountain in the backdrop. Very interesting for those interested in history. Highly recommend!

    Free admission for self guided tour, trails are open and can see almost everything. Went on Wednesday in October and it was pretty much completely empty. Not staffed during the week, meaning the bathrooms and gift shop are closed. They are only open Saturdays and Sundays. Lots of parking available. Many picnic tables.

    Gorgeous. Having the prep area right next to the hall was a bit disruptive during parts of our seminar. Breakfast, lunch and snacks were good. Buffet was kept refreshed. The grounds were amazing. It was raining so a collection of umbrellas were provided so we could wander comfortably. Wonderful peaceful historical grounds. I imagine it would host beautiful weddings:)
