It’s time for one of our most beloved traditions: the annual Trailblazers History Hike! This year’s hike will take place Sunday, November 1, from 2-4 PM.
This year, Historic Cane Hill’s members will explore the history of Cane Hill through the community’s role as a center of apple production in Washington County. Learn about heirloom apple varieties that originated in Cane Hill and the orchardists, business leaders, and everyday folks who helped the area become known as “The Famous Cane Hill Apple Country.”
Local historian and Historic Cane Hill board member Susan Young will guide members throughout campus. The hike will be approximately 1 mile long, leisurely paced, along mixed surfaces including gravel and grass.
This event is exclusively for members. Preregistration is required.
If you are not a member, there is still time to join! Join here and reserve your spot.
