We’ll be walking on a variety of surfaces, sometimes just a narrow path through fields. Trails can be wet at this time of year. There are a few short uphill sections.
At the end of the hike, we’ll enjoy the entertaining and educational Peace Valley Nature Center. Be sure to bring money for the great gift shop plus lots of nature books for young and old. The Nature Center has a fascinating display of Native American arrowheads and tools.

However, there is a nearby macadam trail where dogs on leash can walk and strollers/wheelchairs are welcome. You can bicycle here too. Bathrooms are in the Nature Center, which opens at 10 a.m.
This walk is free and is part of the Get Out For Wellness series, in partnership with Lehigh Valley Health Network. Please register online.

The National Museum of Industrial History is celebrating the 200th anniversary of the birth of Robert Heysham Sayre, with a special display of objects, letters, and photographs from his life. This exhibit will be on view 9/14/2024 through the end of the year. Join them on October 13, 2024 at 1 PM as they welcome industrial historian Professor John Smith and local author Martha Capwell Fox for an intimate discussion of the life of Robert Sayre and his industrial and philanthropic legacy.
Robert Heysham Sayre initiated or influenced nearly every industrial, educational, and public welfare development in the Lehigh Valley during the second half of the 19th century. Born on October 13, 1824, Sayre learned engineering in his early youth building the Switchback Railroad and enlarging the Morris Canal, and at age 30 was named chief engineer of the Lehigh Valley Railroad by Asa Packer. Packer also directed him to build the rolling mill that became the Bethlehem Iron Works and Sayre remained a manager and officer of the company until 1899.
At the same time, Sayre’s involvement in community projects, education, and philanthropy shaped the growth of South Bethlehem and its institutions. His legacy as one of the founders of Lehigh University, St. Luke’s Hospital, the Church (now the Cathedral Church) of the Nativity, and many public utilities continues to today.
