Garrett Williamson Presents: A History Hike with Sarah Lerch

Join us on Saturday, January 31st at 10:00AM for a fascinating presentation by Sarah Lerch, Executive Director of the Colonial Pennsylvania Farmstead, followed by a brisk hike around GW's gorgeous 240-acre property.

We'll meet in the Ram Barn for the presentation about The Colonial PA Farmstead. Sarah will give a 30-minute overview of the history of Ridley State Park and the settlers from the 17th century who made this area their home. (The Colonial Farmstead is in Ridley Creek Park.)

After Sarah's talk, our hike will include a walk along the farm, into the woods, and back up to the barn with a quick stop to see the sheep, goats and alpacas!
