B is for Blandford Walking Tour
Event | Registration opens 1/2/2025 6:00 AM EST
The common theme of a Grand Rapids Walking Tour? A love for everything Grand Rapids...its history, culture, entertainment, vibe, tastes, and exciting growth. It is the trifecta of exercise, education, and entertainment. Each walk lasts about 60–90 minutes: we walk a little, gather at a site, and talk, etc.
This magical place, where you are encouraged to get your hands and boots dirty, is a place where memories are both revealed and made. Blandford Nature Center believe that adults and children learn best through personal experience in nature and with wildlife. The tour take you through the B's-the friendly beasts, the historical buildings, the acres of bark along the trails, the barns of the farm, and the new beginnings at both the associated schools and the Highlands. Learn about Mary Jane Dockeray, the founder, and how she began a chapter in her life that she never imagined would grow into this incredible corner of the world.
This tour meet outside of the Visitor Center at Blandford Nature Center located at 1715 Hillburn Ave NW, Grand Rapids, MI 49504.
