It's time for the 2021 Summer Campfire series!

Each Saturday, beginning July 10 continuing through August 7, we invite you to join us for a campfire program! The programs will begin at 7:00 PM CDT and will include a presentation followed by a musical performance. Topics for the programs include one-room schools, Sutton County homesteaders, mussels of Cub Creek, beginning genealogical research, and Lewis and Clark: The Corps of Discovery.

The campfire programs will be held at the fire pit behind the Education Center. Folding chairs will be available to guests, but we welcome lawn chairs and blankets as well. Insect repellant and water are highly recommended.
