The Apollo Walk signage gives you lots of interesting information and guides you around the old site of te Honeysuckle Creek tracking station.
Honeysuckle Creek Tracking Station (or HSK as it was also known) was an important part of NASA’s tracking network between 1967 and 1981 and its main parabolic antenna (DSS-46) ended up being responsible for capturing and then transmitting to the world the images of Neil Armstrongs first steps on the moon.

The Apollo Service Module carried sixteen engines like these, mounted in groups of four, for maneuvering in space. Each engine burned monomethyl hydrazine and nitrogen tetroxide to produce a thrust of 100 pounds. These engines, which were part of the Apollo Reaction Control System, were tested at the White Sands Test Facility.

This statue of Apollo was given to the hospital by the Honorable Edward Everett in 1845. I'm not quite clear what he's supposed to be holding. Just out of the shot, by the way, is his very modest little fig leaf codpiece.
