Blackwood Farm Park

Enjoy a spring hike around this historic farm and Orange County park. The forest walk encircles the farm and provides remarkable scenic views of the rolling fields, large pond, and farmstead. Walk along a portion of the old roadbed that once linked Chapel Hill and Hillsborough. Time will also permit a tour of the historic Blackwood family farm building complex with interpretive signage and interesting photography. Spanish speakers join us on April 11; an interpreter will accompany us on the walk.
