Dreamed of visiting for a lifetime. The center is nice, beautiful and staffed with good people. Small museum and interestingly, off-site which makes good sense. The Shack is left in as-was condition as much as possible and just a short jaunt down the road. You are free to wander around the property and dream. The hum of tires on the nearby interstate adds an interesting touch. The area by the river reminded me strongly of the bosque in New Mexico and brought me full circle. As we drove away and I was still walking the shack in my mind, I almost hit a couple cranes standing in the road. I almost laughed at the absurdity then I almost cried.
