Wander through and explore a mid-19th-century industrial hamlet, a historic home, a historic operating flour mill, a time-capsuled church, a blacksmith shop, and so much more!

Heritage Days will include live demonstrations at the Blacksmith shop, Grist Mill tour, and historic tours of the Ball Home.

Admission to the park is required.

On Wednesday nights this summer, fire trucks and fire prevention staff will visit various parks from 6:00 p.m. until 8:00 p.m., transforming trucks into giant sprinklers. Attendees will also get to tour the trucks and learn about fire safety.
