    Love this place. The quiet beauty is wonderful. They have toys for young kids to play with while adults go on a free tour in the visitor center. My kids favorite part of our entire road trip (from FL to Montreal) was the golf cart ride out to the Mack home site. They do not try to convert you. Everything is free: parking, tour, bathrooms, drinking fountains.
