Spend a Day Helping the General

On Saturday, April 25, history buffs, community leaders and preservationists will aid in the maintenance and restoration of numerous sites as part of Park Day, the American Battlefield Trust’s annual hands-on preservation event. Thousands of volunteers across the country will participate as Park Day celebrates its 28th year.

The General Lew Wallace Study & Museum right here in beautiful downtown Crawfordsville will host a Park Day event beginning at 9 a.m. Needs include painting, dividing perennials, raking leaves, picking up fallen limbs, setting up the picnic area and other various activities. Volunteers will receive a free tour of the Study. The General Lew Wallace Study & Museum is the only site in Indiana that participates in this national event.
