Elkhart Historical Society announces nature walk schedule for April
 

[March 29, 2022]    The Elkhart Historical Society is delighted to announce its April events, starting with the much-anticipated Wildflower Nature Walks, each Saturday in April. (2nd, 9th, 16th, 23rd, and 30th).

This includes a 10 a.m. or 2 p.m. walk each Saturday, weather permitting, by reservation only.

It is exciting to see the progression of the various flowering species as spring casts off the winter drabs and comes alive again.

The final day, April 30th, is a combination wildflower and bird event celebrating the returning birds as they migrate thru the flowering woodlands on Elkhart Hill. The bloom time is short, and space is limited, so get your reservations in as soon as possible.

Private tours can be arranged for groups of 10 or more on Wednesday-Friday.

An optional lunch at Horsefeather’s Wild Hare Café can be added to the reservation at an additional cost. All reservations must be made by calling 217.947.2238. Just follow the instructions.

You will receive a confirmation before sending your check and please include a self-addressed stamped envelope for your tickets to be returned to you. If too late for mailing, tickets can be picked up at the Country Bumpkin Shop on Gov. Oglesby Street in Elkhart. Reservation forms can be downloaded from the website www.elkharthistoricalsociety.org

Additionally, a Sunrise Service will be offered at the Gillett Chapel on Elkhart Hill at 7a.m. Easter Sunday, April 17, 2022, with Dr. Robert Rea speaking. The service is approximately 45 minutes long and is open to those of all denominations at no cost. Masks are optional.

For ticket costs or other questions, please call 217.947.2238 or The Country Bumpkin 217.947.2200.
