Enjoy an incredible Winter Moon Walk at The Institute for American Indian Studies in Washington, CT! Friday at 7:00pm
This month's full moon occurs January 28, 2021, but the moon will appear full to the casual stargazer tonight too. January's full moon is known as the Wolf Moon, though it has many other nicknames by different cultures.
The soft sounds of the nighttime winter woodlands provide a pleasant setting for a walk guided by the light of the first full moon of 2021. Join Educators for a walk along the museum’s trails and a discussion of nighttime phenomena that people in the Eastern Woodlands have been experiencing for thousands of years. It ends at their replicated Algonkian village for some hot chocolate around the camp fire.
Space is limited and pre-registration is required. Please call (860) 868-0518
Please dress appropriately for the weather, including appropriate footwear, and bring a head lamp or flashlight. Price of Participation: $10 for Adults, $8 for Seniors, $6 for children and $5 for Members.
