The Holiday Season is in full swing, bringing with it our Grand Reopening! The warm welcome back we received from the community was fantastic! It was wonderful to experience the holiday cheer and to see all of the familiar faces!

-Visitor Center and Café Staff
I’m excited to say that construction at the Visitor Center has started. It’s taken a bit of time to get all of the information needed and all of the different folks who will be doing the work all lined up, but there is a light at the end of the tunnel. We’ll keep you posted as we get closer to re-opening.
Don’t forget, while the Visitor Center is closed, we have extended our hours at our Company Store to 6:30am-5:00pm daily.
The weather is quickly changing and we will soon need to discontinue giving coffee away at the Visitor Center location. October 19th and 20th we will not be serving coffee at the Visitor Center and beginning on Sunday October 23rd we will discontinue our temporary outdoor coffee station fully at the Visitor Center. We have enjoyed welcoming folks who have found their way to us at the Visitor Center and will continue to welcome everyone at our company store on 40 Foundry Street. Our Company store, as mentioned before, has extended their hours until the Visitor Center is up and running to seven days a week from 6:30am to 5:00pm. The easiest directions are; turn into TD Bank parking lot (Main Street), go to the back exit of the parking lot and our company store is directly across the street. I know that these directions are a bit odd, but they are much easier to understand than the computer generated ones.
We will continue with our updates as the work on the Visitor Center progresses.
All of us at the Visitor Center look forward to greeting you once again in our newly updated center once we return!
Well, it’s been a month now since our Visitor Center was flooded and things are progressing. It will still be a while before we are able to get back in, but rest assured, we will be back!
We have been welcoming folks who have found their way to our location with a warm, heartfelt greeting, information, and a hot cup of coffee. As the days get shorter and the weather gets colder, we’re not sure how long we will be able to maintain our presence in the Park…..We will stay there as long as possible and if anything changes we will make sure that we update this site.
As for scheduled group tours, we are using an alternative location. We have had several groups through that location and although the space is not as picturesque as our Visitor Center, we have still been able to give folks a “show”. Everyone who has come through the alternate location has been very understanding and has left with a greater understanding of who we are as a company as well as what we do. I have enjoyed everyone who has come through thus far and look forward to the other groups yet to come.
