Interpretive Exhibit Dedication/Ribbon Cutting

Description

Join the Ice Age Trail Alliance to dedicate a new exhibit at the Merrimac Ferry Landing South Wayside (Columbia County side) on Thursday, September 26^th from 2:00-3:00 p.m. This permanent six-panel interpretive exhibit describes the Ice Age National Trail statewide and highlights local Devil’s Lake, Merrimac and Gibraltar trail segments that wind through Baraboo, Merrimac, West Point and Lodi.  The exhibit’s placement along the Merrimac Ferry’s entry lanes provides the opportunity for greater awareness of the trail as a tourism, geological and recreational gem. This exhibit is part of the Ice Age Trail Community program, designed to help communities leverage the trail as an economic and social engine, while promoting the Ice Age National Scenic Trail to community members and visitors alike. Commitment to this program represents an agreement to cross promote one another, building healthy and vibrant communities. One of only 11 National Scenic Trails in the country, the Ice Age Trail is a 1,000-mile footpath contained entirely within the state of Wisconsin. This free event is sponsored by the Ice Age Trail Alliance’s Lodi Valley and Baraboo Hills Heritage Chapters.  Refreshments will be served, followed by an optional short walk.
