The property has been turned into a nature preserve and historical tours are given as well. The site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on June 9, 1980.
There are many buildings on the property, including a building that served as a Danish hospital and the great house, which was built in the 1800s.[2] Both have been partially restored.
