Fall mushroom exploration walk at Mount Independence

On Sunday, September 18, 2022, mushroom expert Meg Madden is back at the Mount Independence State Historic Site in Orwell to lead another of her popular mushroom exploration walks.

The walk runs from 1 to 4 p.m.  Look for and learn about mushrooms on Mount Independence. Are the mushrooms you see this time of year different from the ones people observed in her June program?

Wear comfortable walking shoes and dress for the weather. Admission for the event, which includes the museum and all trails, is $6.00 for adults and free for children under 15.
