I had heard of this place from a friend who had a spiritual experience here. I am so grateful for those who put this together to honor those who did so much with little recognition and respect. I am grateful I took a moment here to meditate and reflect. Very grateful.

Interesting piece of history. Very peaceful. There are short trails throughout. One car can fit in the gravel parking spot. So you may have to park on the street.
