it is perfectly safe here. In fact, half the population of the town is black. You will be welcome with open arms. There is indeed a lot of history here. Because of Covid-19 our tour guides are not doing interpretative programming at this time. you may tour the grounds, but the buildings, except for the gift shop in the 1874 courthouse and our Williams Tavern Inn restaurant are closed. The restaurant is serving in the dining area but they are offering a limited menu. Masks are required until you receive food at your table. I hope this helps you to decide to visit our park. I I can be of further assistance, please post your questions and i'll be glad to answer them.
