Join us for a guided exploration of some of history of the land that is now Stony Creek Metropark. This landscape has been, and continues to be, valued for its beauty and natural resources and we’ll step back in time to visit with some of the many families and peoples that came before. Stony Creek Metropark’s woods and water have been utilized for food, shelter, and even been called home by many. Take a hike through time to learn more about the cultural and historical resources of Stony Creek Metropark.
