There are many stories to tell about Sweet Run State Park. Some will be visual, some will be tactile, and most don’t use words, so how does the park share its stories? Park Interpreters will help you discover the park’s history through hands-on activities, artifacts and, yes, even some words. Discover how the fall abundance of native and cultivated fruits supported the agriculture community long ago. Meet Park Interpreters at the main parking lot near the pollinator garden.
