Jamie Cicco: This state historical site is such a cool place. It features ruins of Kreische Brewery (and the still standing home) as well as Monument Hill a tomb for those who died in the Dawson Massacre of September 1842.
There is a beautiful overlook, and the grounds themselves are very well maintained.
Only $5 per person for admission and leashed dogs are welcome. The Visitor Center has a few displays of relics that you won’t want to miss!
I do recommend wearing good shoes and carrying water if you are planning to walk down to the brewery. It’s a bit steep in some places!
Tony Tolic: My wife and I were amazed at all the history and stuff in this tiny place. Charlie did an amazing job answering our questions and giving us an awesome tour. Even though my 9 year grandson got figity, Charlie took it in stride and was very patient. Thank you for for this wealth of information!
Neftali Calderon: I love the park...... but needs badly
road repairs (new pavement) and
drinking water stations all over the park,also to open the beautiful swimming pool for the adults....we like to swim,too.
Michael Miller: I had a really great visit this afternoon. There is a lot more to see than one might think when approaching from the outside. The house is beautiful and well-maintained. The other displays are interesting and very localized exhibits. My favorite part was the entire Rattlesnake Roundup.
Nina: The museum is very informative and has hands on activities (the scavenger hunt you can get at the front desk). My little cousins had fun learning and doing the activities. Especially trying to lift the equivalent of a full bag of cotton and smelling the oil. Miss Megan was such a great tour guide. She made everything come to life. The way she explained and told the history was as if she lived in it or knew the families personally.
Britany Garza: What a beautiful park! The grounds are extremely well maintained, and theres so many areas to walk and explore. The bird watching area, wildflower areas, and the observation deck were our favorite discoveries today. The sounds of airplanes landing and taking off just across the way made us chuckle every time, but it really didnt take away from the nature experience. There are public restrooms and a handwashing stattiin available near the Observation Deck area that are well maintained. Well definitely be back to explore more soon!
Lizaya Hood: Loveee. Very peaceful with lots of amenities. Self serve kayak, views of memorial tower, playground for kids, and picnic area.
Each loop around the pond is one mile which is nice as well.
Jessica Combs: It was super informative. Lots of things ro see and read about. I loved the dinosaur area. Has a lotmofnhistory as a building itself too. My kid had fun.
