History Trail—The Land Tells a Story
Visitors to the Whitehouse Nature Center often express surprise at our luck in acquiring land so diverse and undisturbed. Looking more closely, however, one becomes aware that this land has been put to many uses—both by settlers and Native Americans. Whatever can be done to land has been done to this land. It has been burned, drained, timbered, plowed, grazed, quarried, and built upon. People have hunted, fished, and gathered wild foods here. Sometimes the land has been nurtured and sometimes abused, but never left undisturbed.
The changes in the land since these events are partly the result of natural processes and partly due to the foresight and hard work of the many people who have helped develop the Nature Center.
Nine sites have been marked with red, white and blue symbols, and a history of each is included, along with a map, in this brochure.
As you walk the trails, perhaps this brochure will help you understand your role in the story of the land as it is now as well as your place in its future.
