Mary Cutler and Brian Cook (Tippecanoe County Park Department) will share the rich human and natural history of Ross Hills County Park, once the summer home of Purdue benefactor and inventor David Ross. The colorful life of David Ross will be discussed, followed by a tour of the home he built above the Wabash River valley. Then we’ll take a hike through the wooded ravines of the property, taking in the sights of wetlands, waterfalls and eagles. Hiking will take place on rough trails on hillsides; wear sturdy hiking shoes/bring trekking poles, if desired.
