Some places stay with you.

Welcome to Founder. This little website is a place to begin your visit: a few useful notes, a directory, and a window into the woods beyond town.

Whether you are finding us for the first time or returning after many years, we hope you will stay a while.


Planning a visit?

A little preparation goes a long way. Read our visitor information before heading into the woods.
