Moonwalks at John Brown Farm

John Brown Farm will host a series of four “Moonwalks” starting the evening of December 14. The guided walks will meet at the small parking lot next to the north field at the park. Depending on the ground conditions, trekking poles and microspikes or snowshoes may be advised. Hikes will be from one to two miles long, depending on conditions and interest of visitors. Registration is suggested but not required, and there is no charge.

The first walk is scheduled for Saturday, December 14, at 5pm, which is earlier than the remaining walks, due to both early sunset and moonrise that evening. In the case of extreme cold or heavy snow, the walk will be moved to December 15 at the same time.

Remaining walks, scheduled for January 13, February 12, and March 13 will take place at 7pm. In January and February, if the original night is extremely cold or stormy, and the weather has improved by the next night, the walk will move to the same time the following evening. If the weather in March is inclement, the walk will be cancelled. To confirm the walk will take place as planned, those interested may call or text 518-806-9719 on the scheduled day. The John Brown State Historic Site Facebook page will also post updates.

This event is sponsored by the Office of NYS Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation.
