Homestead and Vegetable Garden

The Homestead and Vegetable Garden offers a rare glimpse into the history of the Louise Kreher Forest Ecology Preserve and its earliest land owners. This land, first inhabited by the Creek Indian tribe, was purchased by the Carters who then sold the property to the Cooper family. After their home burned, the Coopers sold the property to the late Frank and Dr. Louise Kreher Turner.

Forest Ecology Preserve Amphitheater

The 150-seat outdoor amphitheater is the site of many of the Forest Ecology Preserve educational programs. The amphitheater is also available for private rental for families, civic and religious groups, arts organizations or businesses looking for a unique venue for weddings, concerts, ceremonies or corporate retreats.
