• Experience the African American Heritage Water Trail (AAHWT)

    Experience the beauty of the Little Calumet River and learn about its historical importance by joining Openlands and partners on Saturday, July 23rd, 2022 from 10 am - 1:00 pm. The day will be spent learning about the remarkable stories of African Americans who settled along the river: freedom seekers who traveled the Underground Railroad, trailblazers who defied discrimination and achieved great feats in their fields, and pioneers in the struggle for civil rights and environmental justice. The experience will be guided by a group of youth interns and will begin at Beaubien Woods Boat Ramp.
