Join Greenbelt Land Trust’s Executive Director Jessica McDonald for a presentation and walk at Owens Farm to learn about the fascinating history of the property and the exciting vision of community health-focused recreation that the Owens Farm Partnership is moving forward.
Step inside the historic farmhouse, walk along the route of future trails, and learn how you can help the Owens Farm Partnership – City of Corvallis, Good Samaritan Regional Medical Center, Benton County and Greenbelt Land Trust – make the vision come true.
We will walk for up to one mile, with some mild elevation, over uneven ground at times. No restrooms on site. Please leave four legged friends at home.
Calling all local history buffs! Come and learn more about the fascinating history of Bald Hill Farm, from Kalapuya through western settler migration. We’ll delve into the world of the extensive Mulkey family whose name graces the property’s creek and ridgeline, and trace back local tales through oral and written documents. Space is limited to 30 for this free event.
This will be a slow, easy walk with many stops and considerable standing.
