Over 60 historic sites within the park include the Chellberg Farm and Camp Good Fellow. Over 400 ranger-led tours and interpretative programs are available annually. Programs begin at the visitor’s center or the Center for Environmental Education, named for Senator Paul Douglas, who was instrumental in the park’s founding.
