Where a Visit Begins

The Visitor Center occupies a former barn on the property, which the Friends of Boothe Park converted to welcome visitors. It is the natural first stop: a short video introduces the Boothe family and their legacy, and maps help visitors plan a route to the Homestead, Clocktower Museum, gardens, and smaller landmark buildings.

What to Look For

  • Orientation materials and visitor information
  • Maps that help connect buildings and paths
  • A short video about the Boothe family and their legacy
  • Starting points for tours and programs
  • Answers to common visitor questions
