Summer fun continues at Cambridge Junction Historic State Park!
Picnic on the Lawn Concert Series draws to a close, Aug. 9
Have we saved the best for last? You be the judge as Turner
Luce brings its eclectic mix of music to the north lawn of our Hewitt House
Visitor Center on Thursday, August 9.
Turner Luce is Phil Camp on piano and fiddle, Mark Scott on
guitar and vocals, Sally Mitani on mandolin and vocals, and Beverly Manko on
bass. You'll be clapping your hands and stomping your feet as the band plays
greats ranging from Bob Dylan to Django Reinhardt.
Bring a chair, a picnic and a friend to enjoy the third and
final free concert of our 2018 season.
Park gates open at 5:30 p.m.; the concert lasts from 6 to 8
p.m. This program is weather permitting and will not be rescheduled. There is
no charge to attend this show, but a Michigan State Parks Recreation Passport is required for park entry. Thanks to our Friends of Walker Tavern group for
sponsoring this event.

Explore Archaeology, Aug. 15
There's still time to register for the final (and our most
popular) kids' activity at Cambridge Junction Historic State Park!
Bring a child in your life (ages 5 to 15) and discover together
the daily lives of the people who lived here long ago. We'll show you artifacts
and interactive displays, and, of course, everybody will have fun trying their hand
at using an atlatl - a spear-thrower used by Michigan's first peoples.
This program runs from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. on Wednesday, August 15. Cost is $10 per child; no
charge for accompanying adult. Register
now for Exploring Archaeology - deadline is August 10.
