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. You can also visit the relocated cemetery where Polk's grandmother and other family members rest, immersing yourself in American history.
