Housatonic Heritage Walk – Planting the Seeds For New Understanding at IAIS

September 22 @ 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm

Sunday, September 22nd
1PM – 3PM

In many indigenous communities, plants are considered teachers because there is much that we can learn from them. As part of the annual Housatonic Heritage Walks program, join IAIS staff for a guided walk along our museum trails and learn about scientific and Indigenous understandings of local plant life. End at our replicated 16th Century Algonkian Village for a discussion about traditional ecological knowledge and plant use. 

Meet at the front of the museum for this moderate walk on woodland trails. Please wear sturdy footwear and dress appropriately for the weather. This program is held rain or shine, unless there is severe inclement weather. 

Pre-registration is appreciated. Please email [email protected] or call (860) 868-0518. This is a FREE event, but does not include museum admission.
