OOPS! We found a typo in the program schedule for Thursday! Both programs are listed for the same time. Here's the correction:

Gift shop hours at the Johnson Center will vary during September due to volunteers' vacations and slow camping season.

We will be open this week Thurs. 1-4, Fri. and Sat. 10:30-4:00 for sure. We will try to be open weekends in Sept. Weekdays will depend on availability of volunteers and school groups at the visitors center. It is closed when groups are in attendance.

Feel free to call the Johnson Center to see if we are open.

New tee shirts and sweat shirts are in so check us out this weekend.
