Freedman’s communities in the Reconstruction Era were self-sufficient and resourceful, making use of the natural world around them to build new lives in freedom. This free monthly hiking series will explore the area around Oakley Cabin African American Museum and Park, where we will learn more about how the residents of the community used their natural resources and see how the footprint they left still lingers today.
Each month will be loosely themed around a topic, but like every good hike, we will follow our observations and discoveries on each journey.
