A purpose built building that is always neat and clean. A well informed and pleasant staff. A goodly amount of local artifacts as well as items from local area artists and artisans are for sale.

So much more than a welcome center

The welcome center has lovely and informed ladies manning the desk and give detailed directions. It also has a nice gift shop highlighting local wares.
