The Cradle of Forestry in America is a 6,500 acre Historic Site within the
Pisgah National Forest, set aside by Congress to commemorate the beginning of forestry
conservation in the United States. The Forest Discovery Center commemorates conservation
history with an 18 minute movie on Vanderbilt, Pinchot, Schenck and the beginning of
forestry in America. Also in the Center is an interactive exhibit hall, The Giving Tree
Gift Shop and the Forest Bounty Cafe. Outdoor activities include two guided trails which
lead you back in time to seven historical buildings, a 1915 Climax logging locomotive and
the old sawmill. Thursdays through Sundays you may find a toy maker, a weaver, a quilter,
a wood carver and a basket maker. |
