Prophetstown State Park has a slew of fun nature, recreational and historical activities this weekend! On Saturday, June 14, learn how to make a strawberry pie with a “to die for” crust during the "Old Time Traditions: Pie Making" event. Take a leisurely stroll through the prairie to see which flowers are popping up during the Prairie Wildflower Hike in the afternoon. Get a close-up look at teeth, skulls, and furs from animals that call Prophetstown State Park home at the "Skins and Skulls" event in the evening. There is more fun on Sunday, Father's Day! Attend the "Monarch Madness" workshop to discover the amazing journey this butterfly takes to reach Indiana. Have you ever visited the Native American village at Prophetstown? Tour the council house, medicine lodge, chief’s cabin, corn crib and hike through the prairie.
