Nicodemus National Historic Site Visitor Center Site Selection Study and Environmental Assessment

The National Park Service (NPS) is undertaking planning to determine the best site for a new visitor center to include administrative, maintenance, and curatorial storage facilities. As part of the planning process, this visitor center (or visitor contact station) site study was undertaken to develop a project program and to assess its application to several alternatives. Several potential alternatives have been identified, including one that uses an existing historic structure. This study evaluates the physical opportunities and constraints of each alternative. The evaluation analyzes several potential properties for their ability to accommodate the planned visitor center and administrative and maintenance facilities, and to comply with NPS needs in a manner compatible with the Nicodemus National Historic Landmark (NHL) and Nicodemus National Historic Site (NHS).
