JEFFERSON CITY, MO, JULY 5, 2022 – Join Prairie State Park team members for an interactive program at 11 a.m. Saturday, July 16 as they explore the trials, tribulations and treatment of sick and wounded Civil War soldiers.

Due to the unique and rare diversity of life preserved at Prairie State Park, pets are not allowed on park trails, except for Path of the Earth People and Path of the Sky People trails. Bison graze freely in the park and this regulation protects both you and your pet. You are welcome to bring your pet to the park’s campground and picnic area, but must follow Missouri State Parks’ pet rules. This applies to all types of pets except service animals assisting people with disabilities.
The program will be held in the Regal Tallgrass Nature Center. Prairie State Park is located at 128 NW 150th Lane in Mindenmines.
