Jan. 11, 2026. 12:30 p.m. - 2:30 p.m.
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 some of the ways families kept warm, managed chores and made household goods during the cold months. Compare human and animal activities that led to the survival of each. Visit the displays and hands-on activities at our Interpretive Center.
