Cheers to 90 Years!
Celebrate our 90th anniversary with a journey through time
Happy anniversary, Preserve friends and supporters! This month marks 90 years since the establishment of Bowman's Hill Wildflower Preserve. As we look forward to our future projects that your support makes possible, we also want to reflect on our history as an organization. After searching through our photo and newspaper archives, we’ve collected a gallery to take you down our memory lane.
We will be sharing even more photos, articles, videos and opportunities to experience the history of the Preserve on our social media, so make sure to keep an eye open. Interested in the Preserve's landmarks like the Pidcock Creek, the American Chestnut Log Cabin, the Stone Arch Bridge and Penn’s Woods? We recommend signing up for our Historical Guided Walk on Sunday, Oct. 20, 1 to 2 pm.
If you'd like to learn more about the Preserve overall, check out these links as well.
