Sweetwater Creek Visitor Center
Congratulations to Sweetwater Creek State Park on their successful fundraising efforts. The grand opening ceremonies for the new Sweetwater Creek State Park Visitor and Interpretive Center was held on October 11, 2006. Dedicated to the education of park users, some of the permanent exhibits will acquaint visitors with the story of New Manchester and the arrest and deportation of her citizens during the Civil War. They have acquired a wonderful collection of photographs and artifacts, but more funds are needed for the interior displays. Contact the Friends of Sweetwater Creek State Park to see how you can help.
The Sweetwater Creek Visitor Center has received the Leadership in Environmental Design Platinum Certification from the U.S. Green Building Council - only the 20th building in the world, and the first in the southeastern United States to be awarded the Council's highest distinction.
