(Chillicothe) – The Hoggard Trail in Ross County’s Buzzard’s Roost Preserve has both natural and historical scenery. In the forest are remnants of 200 years of human alterations: a public road, house ruins, mico-quarries, pine plantations, a graveyard…and periwinkle, which does not plant itself.
Join Kevin Coleman 2pm to 4pm Saturday, July 9th, and 9am to 11am Sunday, July 10th, 2022, for identical walking tours of the many years of pre/history as summer dryness reveals features of the rugged terrain and abandoned farms atop sandstone hilltops and shale slopes.
Tours are $10 for adults, $5 for students, and $15 for families (three or more family members with children). Pay “at the door” at the with cash or check. Park where you can and gather at the start of the Hoggard Trail at the gate to Buzzard’s Roost.
The practical limit on the tour is about 20 people as we walk to the Hoggard Cemetery and back. It’s first come first served, and reservations are not required – but you can contact me to be at the top of the attendance list and so I can let you know if plans change.
Dress for the weather and outdoor conditions on level to rolling earthen trails in woodland. And, your health is your responsibility!
If it’s too rainy to go without an umbrella, I will notify all who have made a reservation of cancellation. There is no weather date.
