Limberlost will host guided hike

Next weekend offers another opportunity to learn about the Limberlost.

Limberlost State Historic Site will host a guided tour of Limberlost Swamp Nature Preserve at 9 a.m. Oct. 10.

Attendees will join a Limberlost naturalist for a hike along Deacon’s Trail in the preserve. The naturalist will provide information about the plants and animals native to the preserve, which was used as the setting for a pair of books by author, naturalist and photographer Gene Stratton-Porter. Participants should be prepared to hike up to 3 miles.

Admission ranges from $3 for youth members to $5 for adult non-members. Pre-registration is required by contacting Curt Burnette at [email protected] or (260) 368-7428.

The event will begin at the Limberlost Visitor Center, 202 E. 6th St., Geneva.
