Hot Dogs and Hermit Tales!

From 1884 – 1917, Mason A. Walton lived a hermit's life in Ravenswood Park

What is it like to live in the woods for years? Well, from 1884 to 1917, Mason A. Walton did just that - at Ravenswood. Join us as we closely observe wildlife signs and determine animal behavior - just like he did. We will walk his footsteps to the site of his cabin and share tales from his book [amazon 0548989842 inline]. Following the program, join us for a hot dog cookout!
