Two Guided Nature Walks Planned At Furnace Town

SNOW HILL -- Guided heritage and nature walks will take place at Furnace Town Living Heritage Museum on Saturday, Sept. 25. The 2 p.m. walk will follow the Paul Leifer Nature Trail.

Beginning near the base of The Nassawango Iron Furnace, the trail leads though new-growth lowland forest; on boardwalks over the Nassawango Cypress Swamp; and along the towpath of the 19th century canal, now a fresh-water resource for wildlife. At 7 p.m. walkers will follow the same trail, but will focus on sounds of the night. Flashlights are recommended.

The walk is included in Furnace Town's daily site admission of $5 adults; $4.50 over 60, AAA or Military ID; $3 age 2-13; under 2, members of The Nature Conservancy and Furnace Town are free.

Walkers attending the 2 p.m. walk will receive free admission for the 7 p.m. walk. Call 410-632-2032 to register.
