A place worth knowing
Make room for Berea.
Give Berea time for the makers and landscapes behind its character. A craft collection, student work and a suitable forest route offer different kinds of day. Choose confirmed public openings and leave room for food rather than assuming every workshop welcomes walk-ins.
