Though this site is outside of the borders of Freedom's Frontier National Heritage Area, its stories connect with ours and it is one of our National Park Service partners.

The park visitor center, museum, restrooms, and picnic area are accessible.

The Carver Trail is approximately 3/4 miles in length and contains a combination of boardwalk, compacted aggregate and asphalt surface. The historic 1881 Moses Carver house is located along the trail and is only accessible via stairs. Benches are available along the trail.

The Contemplative Loop Trail is approximately 1,000 feet long and has a loose wood chip surface, which may not be accessible for some users.

Service dogs are permitted on a leash anywhere in the park, including visitor center and trail.
