High Point

Self-guided walk booklets found at two points within the orchard tell the story of the historically registered Buckner Homestead and the family that built it. Enjoy viewing the historic structures and farm equipment, remnants from the orchard's past. There are also nice views of McGregor Mountain from various points along the walkway.

The National Park Service still maintains Buckner Orchard as a working apple orchard today. If visiting during the fall, feel free to pick some ripe apples to enjoy a taste of the orchard
