Slide Show

  • The 10 minute slide show is an introduction to the events that occurred at this site.
  • It is recommended that visitors view the slide show first; this helps provide a better understanding of the rest of the site.
  • The auditorium is wheelchair accessible.
  • The auditorium holds a maximum of 76 people.
  • Groups larger than 76 people may want to plan on two showings of the slide show to allow all group members an opportunity to view the show.

Introductory Ranger Talks

Are available for large groups depending on staff availability. These talks provide an opportunity for a broader understanding of the historic events and their relevance to modern issues. In order to allow enough time to see the site, these talks are only recommended for groups staying at least an hour.
