Getting Lost in the City

Arboretum Walk

October 29th, 1:00pm–3:30pm

Meet at Visitor Center, UW–Madison Arboretum

One hundred years ago, developers planned a "Venice of the North," to be called Lake Forest. That land now comprises the eastern portion of the Arboretum. We'll hike to the site of the failed subdivision, discovering fragments of pavement and other construction remnants along the way. Portions of this tour require stepping over obstacles. Free, no registration required. Meet at the Visitor Center. See also related class on Nov. 18.
