Park rangers provide information and assistance. Special films, talks and guided walks are scheduled in summer. Contact the staff in advance to arrange group tours. A brief slide program introduces the park. Museum exhibits and a farm implement display document pioneer life in the homestead era.
Guidebooks are available at the trailhead and in the visitor center.
Just behind the visitor center is the Palmer-Epard Cabin built in 1867 on a nearby homestead. It was occupied consecutively by the Palmer and the Epard families, then moved to this site for exhibit purposes in 1950. Today the cabin is furnished to depict life in the 1880s. The National Park Service has restored more than 100 acres of the Freeman homestead to tallgrass prairie. Prairie restoration began in 1939 and restorers took on the challenge of recreating wilderness.
