I went with some friends during Heritage Week and we got an excellent guided tour with John. He is a superb story teller and knows his history. The site is amazing.

We only had time to stop at one site during our drive and we were extremely happy we chose this one. The owners of the park are extremely friendly and informative. They are very generous for sharing this treasure with the general public.
