Ring in the New Year by taking a brisk evening hike with family and friends. The Charles A. Weyerhaeuser Memorial Museum and Charles A.

The hike, which will take place on trails lit with luminaries between the two sites, is scheduled from 5 – 8 p.m.

Both museums will be open during the event, giving participants an opportunity to view exhibits, warm up, and enjoy refreshments. If there is snow accumulation by December 31, people are encouraged to bring snowshoes.

In conjunction with the Candlelight Hike, the Weyerhaeuser Museum will be hosting a Silent Auction of items themed around preservation and history. Final bids for the auction will be accepted during the hiking event

The Candlelight Hike is free and open to the public.
