Natural Bridge State Park
On Friday, July 5, join RHS at Natural Bridge State Park to celebrate a very special 250th Anniversary: commemorating Thomas Jefferson’s purchase of The Natural Bridge from King George III, that same day in 1774.
11:00 AM ceremonies under the Bridge spotlight local history, and the perspectives of leading state officials. After a 4th-of-July-style cookout lunch by Cedar Creek, you can choose from an afternoon menu of related presentations on histories of Jefferson and Conservation; Artistic Depictions, and Tourism at the Bridge.
