Here’s an opportunity to trail with us and work on your own project that you’re interested in, which could include creating a map, making actual replicas at home or school of 18th Century early cameras, types of transport, food that was eaten and clothing Native Americans and settlers wore.
Walking the trail also brings the experience of relating the six distinct biomes of flora and fauna, what fauna eat, which biomes they live in and even seasonal migration. It’s also a great opportunity to take family pictures and even submit to our photo and art submissions. Write about your project or projects and submit an image.
