StoryWalk® Project
Read a story while walking along with your whole family. Each month a new story is featured on a different trail. Stop in at the Visitor's Center to see where and what the StoryWalk is this month! Call ahead to make sure StoryWalk is out if we have had bad weather.
The StoryWalk® Project was created to promote physical fitness and literacy skills by Anne Ferguson, Vermont Bicycle & Pedestrian Coalition, and the Kellogg Hubbard Library.
