Explore the 21-acre property, once owned by President Polk's father. Admission is free, except for special events, and if you want to go on a guided tour of the property and cabins. Tours are $2 for adults and $1 for children (5-12) or $1 for seniors (62+). The museum exhibits and short film highlight Polk's childhood, political journey, and the Mexican-American War. Although cabin interiors are only accessible during guided tours, you can still enjoy the Little Sugar Creek Greenway connection, a kitchen, a garden, and a picnic area.
