​After that, since General hadn't had much of a walk, we decided to check out the Mountain Farm Museum, which is run by the National Park Service (Yes, they had stamps for our Passport book! Yea!) and free to visit. Ed chose to walk General down the River Trail, and I toured the farm buildings. It was a complete farm, including an outhouse (LOL), and very interesting to tour!
