Event details
Have you ever wondered what’s going on in our 18th-century Traders Cabin or wanted to peek inside the Native American longhouse above the pollinator garden? This is your chance to explore all the buildings at Isle a la Cache Museum and learn about the French fur traders and Potawatomi who once called this area home.
This month, come learn about leaves! A naturalist will be on site sharing information about the different trees found in the preserve and their role in the ecosystem and challenge you to ID the trees. Document your findings with leaf rubbings or leaf prints! All materials provided.
