SPRINGFIELD, IL: On Saturday April 22 2023, Lincoln Home National Historic Site will host "Yoga in the Park" as the National Park Service celebrates "Park Rx" Day and Earth Day. As of 4/21/23 "Yoga in the Park" is cancelled due to the weather. 

On April 22, bring your yoga mat and join community yoga instructor Ashley Krstulovich in the Burch Lot, next to the Lincoln Home National Historic Site Visitor Center at 426 S. 7th Street from 8:00 AM to 9:00 AM for a beginner's yoga class. This event is open to the first 50 people who register. Call 217-391-3225 or email [e-mail] to reserve your spot.

Visitors on April 22 can also watch and try out historic toys and games in the Burch Lot between 9:00 AM and 5:00 PM. Both "Yoga in the Park" and toy and game activities are part of the NPS Park Rx and Earth Day celebration, which challenges NPS visitors to take simple steps to care for themselves, others, and the Earth.
