Can you hear the park talking? There are many tales and tails throughout Sweet Run State Park. Some are visual, some are tactile, most don’t use words, so how does the park share its stories? Park Interpreters will help you discover the park through hands on activities, artifacts and yes even some words. This weekend we will be focusing on the Partial Solar Eclipse occurring on April 8th. We will have some easy DIY ways to safely observe the Partial Solar Eclipse. In the event of rain the event will be moved to the Interpretive Center.
