The Ann and Jim Goodnight Museum Park connects art, nature and people to encourage creative experiences and human interactions. There are picnic tables, a wooded trail, and places to relax. The park was free and open daily, 8 a.m. - 8 p.m., including holidays, from dawn to dusk. There was a free parking in the museum lot.

Viollis Simpson's Wind Machine was the favorite piece here for the two RV Gypsies. They regretted that there was no wind on this day.
