In addition to learning about the better known and beloved landmarks of the park, participants will discover the story of a “young scamp” who had a hideout on Half Moon Lake, plans for an artificial “lake” in the center of the park, and the location of a pest house used for scarlet fever quarantine. $5 registration includes a small dish or cone in Chippewa Valley Museums’ ice cream parlor following the ride.

• This tour is limited to 20 registered participants​ (no registration required for children younger than 5 yrs)
