Please meet at the park office where we'll take a moderate often off-trail hike to the tallest known black cherry tree in the Northeast, the Davies Black Cherry, at 140 ft. tall. Then we'll double back across the Swinging Bridge to view exemplary 160ft. tall white pines along the picturesque Tom's Run Valley at the base of the Forest Cathedral. See less
This July, we’re diving into something a little daring, a little provocative: Secretary by Mary Gaitskill. Originally published in her acclaimed collection Bad Behavior, Secretary is a sharp, intimate short story that explores power, desire, identity, and the complexities of human connection. It’s bold, thought-provoking, and sure to spark a lively, layered discussion—just the way we like it. If you’ve seen the film adaptation Secretary, get ready—the original story offers a more subtle, literary take that invites deeper interpretation and conversation. Join us for an evening of meaningful dialogue, connection, and a touch of the unexpected. Wednesday, July 29th 6pm-8pm
