Description
October 26th is one of our favorite days at the C&O Canal because it is National Mule Day! Join us the following Saturday and Sunday, October 28th and 29th, for special programming and activities in honor of our four working mules! Meet two of the park mules, learn more about the history of mules as builders of a new nation, and explore learning activities and more!
Two of the park's current mules will be out for meet and greets from 10:00 am - 2:00 pm. Join us at 11:00 am and 12:30 pm for an introduction to the history of mules as builders of America and the engines of the C&O Canal. Stop by our Discovery Table for activities, crafts, and more from 10:00 am - 2:00 pm.
