A special opportunity is being offered at 10 a.m. on the first Saturday of August, September and October, the Vermillion Falls Walking Tour.

Participants will enjoy an historic walking tour of Hastings' most beautiful park, just blocks from the LeDuc Estate. They will learn how the Vermillion River and the milling industry shaped Hastings while taking in the natural beauty of the river and breathtaking falls. Tour rates are the same as at the Estate or visitors may purchase a discount package for $10 (for adults) which includes a tour of both the Estate and the walking tour.

Reservations are REQUIRED and prospective participants should call 651-437-7055 or e-mail leduc@co.dakota.mn.us now for the Aug. 7 tour. The walking tour is sponsored in part by a grant from the Minnesota Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund.
