For many years, the museum has held the Journey Home on the last weekend of April. First a Powwow, then Dancing Moccasins, and finally the Sharing Circle. Each event was a glorious experience that holds wonderful memories. Now we’re getting ready to change it again and hope that you are excited as we are.
The Nature Trail is a beautiful place that lies where the Hattorask Natives would have had one of their many island villages. To celebrate this, the museum intends to create a living village type atmosphere along the trail; complete with a longhouse, dugout canoe, and sustainable garden. Because this endeavor will take a lot of work, we’re integrating into our Journey Home event!
Participate in the fundraiser to help us make this event the best that it can be!
Being a small, private, non-profit sometimes means that we don’t always have the funding to be able to accomplish all of our goals through the years. So this year we’re trying something new and asking for donations via OUR INDIEGOGO CAMPAIGN.

Join our team of volunteers as we start work on museum projects for the nature trail that can be accomplished only through team effort!

- Learn how to make rope out of yucca leaves and help make mats for our future longhouse
