The theme for the day is, “Leaving a Legacy on the Land,” and costumed interpreters will represent Gladesmen, plume hunters, early park wardens, botanists, gator hunters, conservationists, and political activists. There will also be special tours, debates, and presentations by local authors and historians. Visitors will also be inspired to consider what their legacy might be. There will also be guided walks led by costumed interpreters of the old Royal Palm State Park, through a hammock, as well as a tour of the Nike Missile Base.
Park admission at the Homestead entrance will be waived for the day and all activities are free of charge for the whole family. (Fees will not be waived at the Shark Valley entrance station.)
