Park Day At Red Hill
This April, volunteers at historic sites across the country, including Red Hill, are teaming up with the American Battlefield Trust for their annual Park Day event. Now in its 30th year, the spring clean-up event has provided an avenue to refresh battlefields, museums, and other historic sites in time for tourist season, and this year, America’s Semiquincentennial anniversary.
Volunteers will help clear trash and overgrowth along the Gene Dixon Trail to allow greater public access. This .5-mile trail goes through the eastern woods of Red Hill. This is where the Henry family tannery, distillery, and brick kiln once stood on the property.
Volunteers will meet at 10:30 am at the Eugene B. Casey Education Center. Please wear boots or closed-toe shoes. Please bring work gloves, gardening tools like a shovel, rake, or pruning shears. During a break, FREE boxed lunches will be provided!
The American Battlefield Trust is dedicated to preserving America’s hallowed battlegrounds and educating the public about what happened there and why it matters today. The nonprofit, nonpartisan organization has protected more than 60,000 acres associated with the Revolutionary War, War of 1812 and Civil War across 160 sites in 25 states.
