Our present landscapes in western Pennsylvania offer clues to the past, including the lead up to the Revolutionary war, and the early days of our new nation. Join Jennings staff on Saturday, June 13 at 9 am for a guided hike to explore how the land around us both shaped and was shaped by these moments in time. From our geology, flora, and fauna to the evidence of human use throughout that time, participants will discover ways of seeing the landscape that help to unravel some of the myths and mysteries in our revolutionary history. This program is meant for adults and children over 12 and is free with no registration is required. The hike will begin at the Center and will last around 2 hours, covering approximately 3 miles over varied terrain with both hills and uneven surfaces.
Counting down to America’s 250th birthday on July 4, 2026, DCNR has partnered with America250PA to celebrate the role of Pennsylvania’s public outdoor spaces and their impact on the Commonwealth. Focusing on America250PA’s theme of “Educate, Preserve, Innovate, and Celebrate” (EPIC), DCNR is helping to engage citizens in all 67 counties to commemorate this momentous occasion. The distance walked/hiked during this event and any other hosted by DCNR can be used for America250PA’s Road to 2026 Celebrate Pennsylvania challenge.
