Medicinal Plant Walks | The Conococheague Institute, Mercersburg

Saturday August 3rd, 2024 * 10:00 AM – 4:00 PM

Explore our medical exhibits and learn about historical remedies, and take a guided walk through our 30 acre site with our team to learn about the medicinal plants that abound in the region.

Some plants have direct applications like jewelweed for poison, while others must be prepared and ingested.

Recipes and history will be shared, but the program is recommended for educational purposes only.

No actual medicine will be provided to the public.

Guided walks at 11:00 AM, 1:00 PM and 3:00 PM, starting at the Welsh Barrens Visitor Center.

No RSVP required, our Saturday programs are free thanks to the Catherine Stickell Trust and from donations by people like you.
