Description
We're excited to announce that our 'Meet the Mules' program will be kicking off (see what we did there?) this week! 🐎
Come on out and meet our two working mules, Jen and Julie! Both Jen and Julie provide a unique opportunity for visitors to have a physical connection to the history of the C&O Canal, as well as the story of the United States. Mules were considered the "engines" of the canal because they pulled boats on the canal between Georgetown and Cumberland. By visiting the mules, you can learn more about how mules worked to build and operate the canal, how the park cares for Jen and Julie, and some fun facts along the way.
The program will take place at the mule pen behind the Great Falls Tavern Visitor Center from 9:30 am - 11:30 am.
