It is the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence! Happy Birthday America! Some like to celebrate the holiday with loud fireworks, but if you prefer to celebrate in a quieter way, this event may be for you! Join us at the Star Theater for an evening of story telling, constellation viewing, and telescopes!
Meet at the Equestrian area trailhead and follow the red lights on a 200 ft walk to the star theater behind the large barn! The trail is mostly dirt and grass. It may be muddy if it has rained recently. Google Map
