Kentucky State Parks will be taking part in National Trails Day on June 1 with events across the state to recognize the excellent hiking opportunities at state parks including John James Audubon State Park in Henderson.

On June 1, you can venture out with the park’s interpretation staff on a hike by lantern light.  Some kid-friendly battery-lanterns will be provided. Feel free to bring your own; please no glass lanterns. Dress for the weather, bring a flashlight and meet at the Audubon Museum. Hike lasts 7-8:30 p.m. Free. Contact Julie McDonald at 270-826-2247 or juliea.mcdonald@ky.gov.

John James Audubon State Park’s yearlong celebration of its 75th anniversary continues April 21 with the first of a series of talks on the Civilian Conservation Corp and the founding of the park during the dark days of the depression.

The free event will be held at the park’s museum.

The program speaker will be Annette Moore, who grew up in rural southern Indiana during Depression era. That experience serves as the backdrop for her book “Amazing Spirit: A Tribute to Dad.”
