The Historic Indian Agency House
in Portage, Wisconsin invites you to join us on Saturday, May 26 from 1
0AM to
4PM as we celebrate the opening of our newest site addition—a 1.2 mile Na
ture
Trail!
Be among the first to walk this beautiful trail FOR FREE, with bottled
water and snacks also provided for our guests. (Regularly a nominal fee or
proof of membership is required.) This primitive trail circles the forested
“island” behind the 1832 Agency House, with views of the surrounding
marshland
and central open prairie ground and the opportunity to catch a glimpse of a
wide variety of wildlife and birds. Not since it opened in 1932 as a publi
c attraction has this portion of the Agency Houses' 220 acres been open to
the public---come see what you've been missing. With the volunteer help of
Portage’s
Fresh Start and Pardeeville
High School’s Honor
Society, the trail is marked and ready for our nature- and fitness-loving
friends. But be sure to stop in the Stone Visitor’s Center first, as si
gn-in
and sign-out is mandatory for all trail users.
Hope to see you soon. Bring the whole family..and your walkin' shoes!
