Picnicing on the Historic Site is prohibited. However, there are two small picnic areas in the Visitor Center parking lot. They are located on the east end of the parking lot. The larger area contains eight picnic benches and the smaller area contains four picnic benches. Each picnic bench can seat eight adults or perhaps 10 students.

These picnic areas are "Leave No Trace" areas so we ask that you take your trash with you when you leave.
