Upcoming Events

Join us the third Saturday of each month for our kids craft/nature hour at The Rocks. We will meet in the Carriage Barn and spend the first half hour completing a craft and learning about nature. Each month will feature its own theme. Then for the last 30 minutes, we will spend time outside expanding upon our monthly theme. 

In May, we will talk about birds and bird watching. 

Ever wondered what the tiny building sitting outside the Carriage Barn at The Rocks is? Join us on Saturday, May 17 to learn more about Fanny’s House - hike up to the original site of construction and then explore the building in it’s current location and view a showing of a talk Author Abigail A. Van Slyck recently gave about her new book "Playhouses and Privilege: The Architecture of Elite Childhood."

The day is composed of two guided, three-hour wildflower ID walks, led by wildflower enthusiast Ginny Jeffryes and The Rocks' Senior Outreach Manager Nigel Manley. The walks take place on the historic Mile Path, which is typically off-limits to visitors, and discuss the property's storied history, the array of plants growing there, and the forestry work done as part of The Rocks' long-range forest management plan. Choose the morning walk, from 9 AM to 12 PM, or the afternoon walk, from 1 to 4 PM.
