Description
Fido is welcome all season to the museum, but this a special day you won't want to miss bringing them to! During this event, your well-behaved furry friend can visit farm sites, walk the trail, tour the 1876 town of Walnut Hill and participate in a fun run with advance registration. To ensure everyone's safety, dogs must be on standard non-retractable leashes and are prohibited from entering the buildings or near the livestock areas.
