When

April 25, 2026. 10:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.

There are many stories to tell about Sweet Run State Park. Some will be visual, some will be tactile, and most do not 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. Learn how the park’s natural resources shaped the lives of earlier communities and how those same resources are cared for through stewardship today. Visit the displays and hands-on activities at our Interpretive Center.
