Notes: If you’re in the area, this is a must stop. The collections and displays in the interpretive center are wonderful and there is a great variety of logs around the center. One of the few Ginko sites in the world. The nearby rock shop is also worth the visit. Bill is a skilled polisher and has great displays and specimens.
