Nature Exploration Day at Rippon Lodge

Be a nature explorer. Learn about the reason the Port of Dumfries closed. Where did trash go in the 18th Century? Did mosquitoes bite George Washington? Spend the afternoon in the great outdoors. Explore 18th century natural world through modern science. Environmental groups, archeologists, and historians will lead the way with demonstrations, games, stories and crafts.
