Tour the Enchanting Glen at National Park Seminary
Sunday, November 8, 2026, 1:30 pm
Join Save Our Seminary for a guided 2-1/2 hour tour of this historic, forested ravine with its flowing stream and interesting history. View unique built features, including the covered spring and stone bridge shown in this photo. Thanks to dedicated volunteers, several original paths have been uncovered, allowing you to walk the Glen as the girl students once did.
Recently added to the Glen are several markers with QR codes that provide insights into the Glen’s main features and history, along with photos. The tour also includes a special commemorative map, access to a private SOS website page with almost 40 pages of historical photos of the Glen, as well as videos and other resources, plus light refreshments.
The Glen’s rugged, uneven terrain includes stairs, streams, and other obstacles, making the tour unsuitable for those with mobility limitations. Please wear sturdy closed-toed shoes as paths may be muddy or wet.
The tour is limited in size, and participants must be at least 12 years old. Reservations and payment of $25 per person are required by November 5. Reserve your spot and discover the beauty and history of the enchanting Glen!
