Whatever you do, keep your coal! Join us at Merry Lea’s Glacial Retreat Center as we read What Can You Do With a Rock? by Pat Zietlow Miller. Afterwards, we will explore our rock pit and then take a closer look at some of Indiana’s rocks and minerals under a microscope!

What is Tales & Trails?

Children and their caregiver(s) gather for a short story that incites curiosity before exploring different locations around Merry Lea's property. Expect to hear a tale & hike a trail while discovering the natural wonders around you together. This is a 1.5 hour monthly program designed for children ages 3-5, with younger siblings welcome to join, led by a Merry Lea educator.  (This program location is not typically open to the public. This is your chance to explore the Glacial Retreat Center!)
