Summer Saturdays: Watershed Wonders

Learn about our Grand River with an expert on a special Grand River Tour at 11 a.m., 12 p.m., 1 p.m., or 2 p.m. Discover fascinating facts about this incredible ecosystem from mussels to fish.

Enjoy activity tables featuring fascinating artifacts and specimens, and take home native milkweed seeds to help local pollinators. The Lower Grand River Organization of Watersheds will have a table where you can learn more about our very own Watershed.

Plus, just outside the Museum, the Pleasant Peninsula Mural Festival will be happening! See 21 new murals, and enjoy a day full of kids’ activities, an eco art market, info fair, live music, speaker series, food trucks, fishing, friendship, and FUN!
