Event details:

Civil War Trust Park Day is the annual event when thousands of volunteers come out and work for a day at Civil War, War of 1812, and American Revolution sites across the country.

Meet at the Robert Hall Pearson Historic Farmhouse at 163 E 2000 Road, Wellsville, Kansas, 66092 (three miles east of Baldwin City on U.S. Highway 56 and a quarter mile south on E 2000 road). The work begins at 9:00 a.m., but feel free to come and go as needed.

We will be doing regular spring clean-up of the park grounds, picking up debris from the winter, removal of several fallen trees, and generally sprucing up the park for the touring season. We will also be doing maintenance on the nature trails and the bridges and working in the prairie restoration area. There will be work for adults and children.

Bring any yard tools that you wish. Make sure to wear work clothes and sturdy footwear, and bring work gloves if you have them.

There will be water and snacks provided for volunteers.

We will work rain or shine.
