When the nights were long and cold, having a good light to guide your way was essential. Traditional beeswax candles were a staple on the 1850s farm. Come out and try your hand at dipping a candle and find out how many dips you need to make a candle that you can take home and use at your own homeplace.
Come get a sneak peek at something new on the farm! We’re developing a walking trail with plenty of information about the trees you’ll see in the woods all around the region. Come to enjoy the views, or brush up on your dendrology. Why not both?
Calling all Girl Scouts: Girl Scout Day and the Nature Station is Camp-tastic this year! Join us for family-friendly activities and programs specifically geared toward Daisy, Brownie, Junior, and Cadette badge and journey requirements for some of the Outdoor badges! Explore and learn more about how to have fun and be safe while enjoying the outdoors. There will be a variety of activities to do, so we recommend planning at least a 2-hour visit. Girls are encouraged to bring SWAPs to exchange with other scouts. Although the event is dedicated especially to Girl Scouts, all are welcome!
Call 270-924-2299 for more information. A detailed schedule of activities will be available online by March 1, 2023, including which badge and journey requirements will be fulfilled.
