Light the Blockhouse Hike

Returning this Christmas Season the “Light the Blockhouse Hike” on Sunday, Dec. 14th


Join the Fort Abraham Lincoln team as we ring in the 2025 holiday season, flipping the switch on the decorated iconic infantry post blockhouse! The hike will start and end at the park Visitor Center. Don't miss the return of this wonderful annual tradition. Before & after the hike, stay for warm fire pits and a fantastic holiday-themed hot chocolate bar!! Hot coffee will also be served.


Hikers are to dress appropriately for the weather and to bring a flashlight for the hike. The hike is a little over a mile and moderately strenuous. The trail will NOT be stroller friendly.


Really feeling the holiday spirit? Then join us the week prior for the annual "Victorian Christmas: A Yuletide Social" on Saturday, December 6th! https://www.facebook.com/events/1147930003855221
