This writers' musicians' and artists' retreat is open just one day a year to the public, and for 2022 that was today. We saw the medal award ceremony and had time to visit five fascinating writers and artists in their studios. The grounds themselves are beautiful, including gardens where much of the food served to the fellows is grown.

Lots of hiking, kayaking, fishing opportunities. Picnic areas with beautiful views. Swimming area, now with child life-jackets to use free. Run by Army Corps of Engineers.
