in 1916, President Woodrow Wilson signed the "Organic Act," creating the National Park Service.

Red Hill is proud to be an affiliated area with the NPS. Affiliated areas are sites recognized by Congress for their natural or historical significance outside of the official National Park System.

Go visit your closest National Park or affiliated area to wish them a happy birthday!

New artifact Friday!

Just today, we received a new Patrick Henry bust!

This bust is believed to have been made around the mid 1800's. Inscribed on the base are "Patrick Henry" and "Warner, Miskey and Merrill."

Unlike the other Henry busts in our collection, this one had been painted by one of its past owners!

Come check out this new amazing artifact (coming soon), along with many more fascinating ones, in our museum! Open Monday - Saturday, 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, and Sunday, 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM
