Monacan Nation Museum + Hike

OVERVIEW

Have YOU enjoyed using the beautiful land in good ole Virginia? Do you also want to learn how to better respect and acknowledge the land? Then join us on Dec 3rd for a service trip to the Monacan Nation Museum to learn about the land that we have been using. We will take a tour of the Monacan Nation Museum for an opportunity to learn about the history of the land. Then, we will go to the White Trail at Fortune’s Cove Preserve to appreciate the land. The trail is 3.3 miles with about 800 ft of elevation gain. It should take about 2 hours to complete. It will be a great way to give back to the land that we use by learning how to better respect and appreciate it.
