Join us as we celebrate the opening of a new StoryTrail™ at The Dawes Arboretum on Saturday, May 30 from 9:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. Come prepared to walk, skip, run and explore as you enjoy a beloved children’s story on a specially designed family- friendly trail.
In honor of the 250th anniversary of the United States, this year’s trail features Midnight Riders: A Fun Song about the Ride of Paul Revere and William Dawes by Michael Dahl. It’s a tale of two brave riders: Paul Revere and William Dawes who set out to warn colonists the British were coming. William Dawes was the great-great grandfather of Beman Dawes, The Arboretum’s co-founder.
We are collaborating with the Licking County Library on opening day, with the Bookmobile and exciting activities for the whole family. Take home a free magazine from MagLiteracy and meet some animals from Heart of a Warrior Farm and pet them or read a book to them.
Bring your whole family to celebrate the day at The Dawes Arboretum! Plus, children ages 15 and under are free from 9:30-11:30 a.m. on May 30!
