Daffodils and the new memorial display grace the entrance to the IGC and gardens.

 

Step into the past.  The Information and Gift Center is a small version of Louis Simpson's first house.  The entry columns are reminiscent of the columns in his garden in the early 1900's

 

INFORMATION AND GIFT CENTER in spring before the roses in the circles have begun.  The building is designed after the original Simpson House on the cliff where the observation area is now, overlooking the ocean.
