Gene Stratton-Porter State Historic Site To Host Star Gazing Night

Calling all stargazers, moon watchers and planet plotters! Come to Gene Stratton-Porter State Historic Site, 1205 Pleasant Point, Rome City, on Aug. 7, from 9 to 11 p.m., for Music of the Wild Star Gazing & Night Hike!
 
Visitors at this event will explore the Gene Stratton-Porter State Historic Site and the surrounding Wildflower Woods on Sylvan Lake with our Site Naturalist for this unique walk in celebration of the 100th anniversary of Gene Stratton-Porter’s Music of the Wild. As you cover the site, you’ll hear common and not-so-common sounds of the night like owls, bats and other critters.
 
Once the stars are out, see if you can identify constellations or maybe even catch a shooting star! Visitors under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. Cost is $3 per person.
