Trailblazers History Hike
Museum - 14335 Hwy 45, Canehill, AR 72717
Join us for the member exclusive Trailblazers History Hike on November 1 from 2-4 PM.
Local historian and Historic Cane Hill board member Susan Young will guide members throughout our campus as she highlights historically significant places. Guests will view several iconic landmarks, including our oldest standing structure, the Methodist Manse (1859), the Kirby-Coburn House (c. 1890), the Zeb & Eunice Edmiston House (1872), the Cane Hill Presbyterian Church (1891), and the Cane Hill College (1886). The journey will also explore Jordan Creek’s influence on this area and highlight the state’s co-champion Bur Oak tree.
Along the hike Susan will share stories about some of the people who make up the rich tapestry of this region, including the state’s first woman mayor, a 14-year-old Cherokee girl, a town that practically disappeared overnight during the Civil War, and a family whose prosperity can be seen more than 150 years later.
The hike will be approximately 1.5 miles long, leisurely paced, along mixed surfaces including gravel and grass.
