Come join us this Fall for a fun walk around the farm park to see the beautiful autumn colors! Friendly guides will show you parts of the park you might not have seen before or that look different in the Fall, while sharing a bit of the site’s vast and remarkable history. We walk at a leisurely pace, along natural trails that encircle the Farm Park’s beautiful landscape.
We will walk in almost all kinds of weather. If the weather is really bad, we will send an email to let you know if the walk is canceled. Please check the weather and wear clothes that fit the day.
We will meet at by the Ag Services Building. When you get to the park’s main road, continue straight towards the modern building and park in one of the paved lots. The walk is easy and slow, but bring water and be ready to walk on natural paths that might be uneven.
