Summer Happenings!

TREK THE TRAIL - GLACIAL TRAIL SCENIC BYWAY EVENT WAS A SUCCESS!!

Here are some pictures from the Trek the Trail event held on June 26, 2010. The first photo is Miss Elyea making a duck decoy out of cat tails at Linn Grove Park. The second photo is Hannah Waterman on the prairie where she settled in July of 1856. It was a great adventure for all that participated. Trail maps are available at the Center, so pick one up and explore this scenic byway yourself!
