It's…read morealso free of charge and parking is plentiful all around the historic building that used to be one of the old high schools, if I'm not mistaken. Nice to see how each section is labeled and divided up by room. I thought it was only going to take 30 minutes or less to see everything, but I ended up spending nearly an hour to absorb everything. Seeing how things were back in the good old days to learning how things have developed over the years is pretty incredible. Antioch, believe it or not, also has a very rich sports history, which would explain their fairly large sports memorabilia gallery on the lower level. All the folks who operate the museum are volunteers. The museum is open Wednesdays and Saturdays from 1 PM - 4 PM.

It was neat in that there were historical building(s), a cemetery, and different parts of mines in addition to the natural landscape, plants, and animals to observe. I visited a few different times in 2018 plus or minus a year. One time I brought my friend Jinsol along and another time I brought family (my mom and dad). The park volunteers/workers were friendly when we encountered them. We appreciated the map(s) of the park, it helped with exploring. Some sites were more readily identifiable than others. My mom had difficulty on some of the steeper trails, though my dad faired well. Some parts of the mines had information displayed though were not open on my visits. One of my visits was during a heat wave, while the remainder were during relatively average weather conditions. Shade was sparse, though present, during the heat wave. Even in the shade however, the heat seemed to spread. On a different occasion I slipped and fell on a pathway that had a small section that was temporarily dominantly mud. A place requiring my full attention for traversing the trail system.

I was originally looking for information about the museum and arrived at this page: https://www.mihpf.org/tours. I hope this will help you find their tour options and dates! All digitalized, no fuss. And it turns out I was the only who signed up for today's tour, and they did not cancel on me because of that. I really really appreciated it. One last thing, the money you spend on the tour goes into helping this foundation : ) Yay!

"Secret gem with beautiful gardens."…read more I had no idea this park existed until recently. I had a pleasant time walking around the grounds and checking out the trees and the other plants. There's also a community garden, very close by. I had a nice chat with a gardener there. You rent out a space for a small amount per year. There doesn't appear to be many facilities. But parking is plentiful. I would've liked some brochures but I did not see any. I guess they're online only

It costs $10 to get into the park, gates open at 8AM. There's a 12 mile hike, loops the site. And an 8 mile hike to the Summit (round trip). At the top there's a museum inside which has an exhibit and gift shop. I got a cute T-shirt for $18, they also had a showing of the history behind the summit and how it came to be. We saw a couple deers, baby coyote, various species of birds, lizards, and butterflies. During this time of year, majority of the trail was dead. I rarely saw any hikers, mostly bikers! Most visitors drove up to the summit for pictures and views. The hardest part was definitely going up to the summit! We cut our time by half on the way back down. It was steep, so we temple ran our way down. Really fun! I highly recommend going early in the morning or later in the afternoon to avoid the heat. Not a beginner friendly hike! Challenging. Trails not shaded. Park rangers are very friendly. Maps are also provided at entrance.
