Quick Facts

Location:

Apgar Village

Significance:

Apgar Nature Center is housed in a small log cabin that was built in 1929. The cabin was part of the Greenwalt Hotel complex and was one of many cabins available for rent until 1956, when the National Park Service bought the land and facilities. For many years, the cabin was used as seasonal employee housing. Now it is a great spot to learn about nature, as well as a little park history.
