The site, which once served as the state capital, is home to a variety of preserved structures that transport you to the 18th century. Visitors can wander through a charming period tavern, a traditional kitchen, and even a loom house situated among picturesque trails and picnic spots.
With recognition on the National Register of Historic Places and the title of a certified wildlife habitat, Marble Springs has been serving educational programs for thousands of schoolchildren over the past 50 years.
