On Sunday, September 20 from 1–4 p.m., the Valley Grove Preservation Society invites you to spend the afternoon with us for live music, wagon rides, history, children’s activities, coffee and cookies, and plenty of time to enjoy the churches, prairie, and oak savanna.

Participants in this course will observe and describe the landscape near the Valley Grove churches, a deep dive into a small part of the county. This area of elevated ridges and deep valleys sits astride three of the five biomes of Minnesota: Hardwood Forest, Tallgrass Prairie, and, between forest and prairie, Oak Savanna.
