"Not much here as it6s on a dead school campus. They use the building for storage, so it's not really something to visit.
However, you can view the outside and a historical sign or two."

"Fascinating, fairly well-kept historic site, on lovely grounds. A little hard to access, by car as parking was unclear. It was not difficult to walk to the barracks, however, via the MD School for the Deaf grounds. Historical information about this site given on signs and story boards. Fantastic "champion" tree located behind site and definitely worth seeing."
