Join us on Saturday, April 5 at 8:30 am for a tour of the history and all there is to offer in the Morgan Falls area! And there’s a LOT!
Learn about the history of the area, from home to American Indians to the homestead of the Powers family in the 1800s of which their cabin’s chimney still stands.
Find out about all of the outdoor amenities available! The golf course that was formerly a garbage dump, to kayaking on Bull Sluice lake, where American Indians surely fished for hundreds of years. Also available at Overlook Park is a walking trail through the forest, a large modern playground, a pavilion for gatherings and swings by the river.
Our group will then walk down Morgan Falls Road for some history about the more than 100-year-old Morgan Falls hydro power plant that is still active today! Nearby we’ll pass the city’s dog park and walk some of the new Springway Trail up to Orkin Lake!
Wear your walking shoes and be ready to learn about some neat history in our own back yard!
