Stone House museum, Nature Center at Salt Fork reopen for 2021
The Daily Jeffersonian
Two popular tourist destinations on the grounds of Salt Fork State Park in Guernsey County have reopened after the coronavirus pandemic forced their closure more than a year ago. The Kennedy Stone House museum is open for guided tours, said Dave Thompson, assistant manager at Salt Fork. And, the Nature Center and in-person activities with the naturalist are once again open.
Thompson said Stone House tours will continue from 1 to 5 p.m. on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays during the summer season.
Visitors will enjoy touring the restored 1840s Federal-style home with its summer kitchen, spring house and surrounding grounds. Docents will be on hand to share information about the history of the Stone House and Salt Fork Lake.
Hiking in the winter can offer a new perspective
Naturalist John Hickenbottom offers advice, safety tips
Taking a hike could be the cure for those facing a major case of cabin fever.
With many of the typical indoor recreation activities that grow in popularity during the winter months still not available or have a limited capacity due to the social distancing associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, many people may be looking for other ways to get out of the house and stay active.
Ohioans are fortunate enough to have state parks and local hiking trails that stay open all year and many of the summer time activities such as hiking can be done all year-round.
