Grove History Hike
Experience a new kind of guided tour of The Grove grounds and historical buildings. Not only will you experience spectacular views of nature, you will also learn more about The Grove’s history as we hike to and go inside the Native American Indian Village, the Pioneer Log Cabin, the Blacksmith’s Shop, and the Historic 1856 Kennicott House. This is a relatively easy hike accessible to a wide range of walkers and a great way to learn about and appreciate the flora and fauna of Illinois and the history of The Grove.
Animals and Art
sportDuring each of these fun programs, participants will get up-close and meet a farm animal and then create a beautiful work of art inspired by their encounter. In April, we'll meet chickens and create chicken-inspired mobiles. In May, we'll meet a cow and create mixed-media portriats of our bovine friend.
