550 acres of privately maintained, naturally wooded property that offers a quiet and serene place to walk, run, or picnic. Within the Park is the 167-acre Lake Maury, which is encircled by the five-mile Noland Trail.

Mr. Pritchett has created a presentation, “Scraps of History” which uses real documents from the 18th and 19th centuries to highlight African and African-American history within the fabric of the American past.
