Unfortunately, RTPI experienced a small fire on Thursday, December 3rd. Most importantly, all of the staff are safe and the Peterson collection is also safe and undamaged. The building will be closed for a time to make necessary repairs. The trails will be open and we encourage you to come and enjoy them. Please check back for updates, as we will post additional information as we progress through the repair and reopening process.
