Kids in Parks Celebrating World Migratory Bird Day at Homestead National Historical Park BEATRICE, Neb. – Attention kids of all ages! Come out to Homestead National Historical Park, as we celebrate World Migratory Bird Day with a FREE Kids in the Parks Activity. We’ll have a fun craft to do, and a trail hike to view some cool critters! The fun begins at the Homestead Education Center on Saturday, May 13, 2023, at 10 a.m.  

Bird Migrations are a world phenomenon, and it’s important to be aware of some challenges faced by the birds. A good example is pollution, which we’ll investigate during our activity. Who knows what you could see or learn? Join us, dressed for the weather. Sunscreen and insect repellent are recommended.

For more information on available accommodations please contact Accessibility Coordinator, Amber Kirkendall at [phone].
