A natural spring bubbles from the rock ledge, winding its way into a creek. Enjoy a stroll through the certified nature garden and visit with scarecrow, Nicholas, as he stands guard over the vegetables. A walking tour of the neighboring cemetery, which dates back to the earliest settlers, is also available. Feel free to bring a picnic and enjoy the peaceful setting." (quote from webpage)
