Tour the farm of community activist Opal Lee, a retired teacher and activist nicknamed the “Grandmother of Juneteenth” for her success in lobbying to make the Texas holiday recognized nationwide. For her work, Ms. Opal was also nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize and awarded the Presidential Medal of Honor.
Part of her legacy extends to education through her unique farm located in the Trinity River banks, which serve the local community, and teaches visitors of all ages about farming and ecology.
This 1.5 hour tour with farm staff is a great way to learn more, see her legacy in action, and support the cause through your tickets.
You'll also escape the city hustle and bustle with this trip down to the banks of the Trinity River. You may even spot some local wildlife that frequent the riverbanks, all while picking up tips and tricks for local organic gardening methods.
All attendees ages 3+ must prebook tickets to participate in this experience.
