Kfar Nahum (Capernaum) National Park

There are a couple different Capernaum sites, and it was confusing to try to figure out which one was the main historical site to visit. We ended up accidentally driving to the national park site, run by the Israel Parks Authority, instead of the private site 2 minutes down the road run by the Franciscan Church, which they call "Capharnaum - The Town Of Jesus".
We did enjoy walking out on the dock (where I think they run boat tours sometimes?) and the view of the Kinneret (Sea of Galilee) but other than that there wasn't really much to see or do, and it was unclear what the focus of the site actually was. Apparently they are planning to build a fishing village and artists’ village, and some kind of recreation of daily life in Second Temple times. But when we visited there was no information available, and then left to visit the Franciscan monastery instead.
