Description
**This event has been moved to Monday, May 12 due to trail conditions.

Program is FREE, but all participants must pre-register. Participants under the age of 12 must be accompanied by a parent/guardian.
The battlefield features a self-guided trail that is perfect for families.

The terrain is relatively easy, making it accessible for families with children or those who prefer a gentler hike.
