Heritage Day
to
Pope Farm Conservancy 7440 Old Sauk Road, Verona, Wisconsin 53593
Take a ride around the conservancy along the Madison area skyline in a wagon pulled by a team of draft horses. Here you can “Walk the History of the Land”. Experts will teach you how the land was formed by the glaciers, and about the first native people and how they grew their food, made stone tools and spotted game at the top of the hill. Learn about the prairies that existed here hundreds of years ago; hear about the first German settlers and their cabin on this site in the late 1800s. See how the Civil Conservation Corp (CCC) and the Soil Conservation Service (SCS) controlled erosion in the 1930s and how important soil is in our lives.
