    Great place for local history buffs.

    Enjoyed a walk through the past exploring the ruins of the old Lobdell Emory manufacturing plant that created the economy for the whole area prior to burning down. Also, good display of iron sculptures created by Moran Iron Works.

    Quirky, fun historical spot

    A fun mix of history/education and new (and amazingly beautiful and unique) art in an outdoor setting. Certainly worth the 30 minutes to walk the circuit!
