Special Event
Join local health care providers and Ranger Clayton for Walk With A Doc on Saturday, August 30 at 9 a.m. at Wilson’s Creek National Battlefield.
Fill up your water bottle before you come or from the fountain in the visitor center picnic area. Then make your way to Stop #2/Ray House on the tour road by 9 am.
During this outdoor walk of the Wire Road, Ranger Clayton will talk about the history of the road while staff from CoxHealth will share tips about using nature to promote health.
The walk will continue as far as Sigel's Final Position (~1.25 miles one-way) to join our special holiday weekend programs from the 3rd Louisiana living historians and volunteer artillery crews but there will be several other opportunities to turnaround to the Ray House.
