Join National Park’s enthusiast James Hayward each month for a casual cocktail hour and presentation that explores America’s greatest treasure: our national parks system.
December 12 will use the national parks as a backdrop to explore the arts, specifically our nation's writers & painters. You will also have a chance to interact with Heritage Hill's painters, specifically a community group of watercolorists that meet weekly at Heritage Hill! They will have artwork for sale and welcome any questions you may have about their medium.
Free for members!
$5 general admission
