Interpretive Center

Background

 The Ridge Interpretive Center grand opening was held in May, 2012. The Center is an 800-square-foot facility that houses a permanent interpretive exhibit of local history and temporary exhibits. Since the grand opening, we have added outdoor deck space that allows for accommodation of large groups, weather permitting.

Center Features

 A feature of the Interpretive Center is the floor mural in the main exhibit area that was conceptualized and painted by noted artist Dr. Ronald McDowell. Dr. McDowell's colorful interpretation of the sights one might have witnessed along the Federal Road during the pioneer era is a delight to the imagination.
