Through Heritage Park, visitors can travel from the past to the future going from Historic Columbus Foundation’s Heritage Corner to the Coca-Cola Space Science Center.

Heritage Park is designed to recognize the entrepreneurs and workers who harnessed the river and created these industries that laid the foundations for this modern city. The outdoor sculptures and historic elements of the park represent the textile, gristmill, brick and foundry industries involved in the growth and development of the area, as well as agriculture and forest products, dams and bridges, river trade and travel, and Coca-Cola.
