We
have a Dream, too. It’s
the Historic Scull Shoals Educational
Center
Land Bought—sign goes up!

Building
facilities at the flood-prone historic mill village
is impractical. The Friends of Scull Shoals
purchased land nearby on which to build the Historic
Scull Shoals Educational Center to benefit the visiting
public and the area schools. It will contain
a Visitor Center, Interpretive Exhibits, Educational
and Administrative Facilities, Interpretive Trails
(some Handicapped Accessible - ADA), Car and Bus
Parking, and Picnicking Facilities, and Programs
on the History and Environment of the Scull Shoals
area. It is anticipated that once completed,
the facilities will also be available for rent for
weddings, family and social gatherings.
There
will be much more information coming on this website
and in the media on developing this Educational
Center (currently a wooded hilltop and slope!)
as plans progress. A major capital campaign
is envisioned to provide for the facilities to
educate and expand the horizons of the traveling
visitors and the area school students. Watch
This Space!
