Stick-in-the-muds Mary Trask and her husband, Thaddeus, eke out their hardscrabble life on a
farm on the borderline between Northern and Southern states. The year is 1863. They care little
for concerns that don’t coming knocking at their door, that is until a wounded Union soldier with
Confederate soldiers hot in pursuit seeks refuge in their home.

Remember:

• Bring your Own Zero Waste Picnic Dinner & Drinks-There is a Royal Farms and a Subway nearby if you want to pick something up on the way
• Bring a blanket to spread, folding chairs and a pop up canopy
• Bring a yoga mat if you have one and want to participate

*Important: 

Note: For walking in the woods wear long pants and sturdy walking shoes as some of the paths are not paved and steep in some areas

Dress for the weather.
