Camping
The Campbell Homestead: The north end of the park, known today as the "Campbell Homestead," provides a glimpse into life in Genoa in the early and mid-1900s. The property features a historic blacksmith shop, a small apple orchard, an early 1900s chicken house, a demonstration vegetable garden, and the Arribalsaga-Campbell House. Park staff is currently in the process of converting the Arribalsaga-Campbell House (built in 1948) into a Historic House Museum focused on the late 1940s/early 1950s.
