The Black River Center is a great place to stop on your way into the park. Here, you can watch videos the "A Billion and a Half Years in a Nutshell," "The Power of Water" and "Rebuilding Johnson's Shut-Ins." You can also view programs on prescribed burns and feral hogs. Exhibits include "Songs of the Shut-Ins Song Birds" and "The Johnston Family History," both of which are interactive, as well as "Water Life of the River," "How the Shut-Ins was Formed," "Glade Life" and "Landscape of Voices."
A conference room within the visitor center can be rented for $150 for a full day or $75 for a half day.
