DeYoung Natural Area Hike

Sun. Feb. 3, 1pm

Join Docents Dave Amos and Mary Smart on a winter walk through time. The DeYoung Natural Area hike offers a gentle walk (or snowshoe) around this unique property near Traverse City and a tour of the 1860 farm house and lower barn. The property is a reflection of the changing times from the inception of Traverse City to now with a rare opportunity to see inside those buildings we pass when using the Leelanau Trail. Dress warmly and enjoy an interesting part of our local history. Sign up here. Can't make this one? Check out more upcoming hikes.
