MARQUETTE — For those who want to get outdoors and enjoy a little history on the way, “A Walk on the Snow and Back in Time” will be offered at 6 p.m. Wednesday by the Marquette Regional History Center.

The public is invited to join in a snowshoe hike with Dr. Jacquie Medina, professor of Outdoor Recreation Leadership and Management, at Presque Isle Park.

The group will hike in waves of eight people to limit group size, each with a group leader. Adhere to social distancing and wear a mask when gathering.

All snowshoe ability levels welcome for this casual outing meant to celebrate recreation in the snow. Registration is $15 a person. Register ahead at the History Center or by calling 906-226-3571.

Participants will meet near the Presque Isle main pavilion. Dress for the outdoor hike, bring snowshoes and head lamp or light as it will get dark during this 90-minute hike.

Snowshoeing is an ancient form of recreation, first used by necessity and enduring today in our northern climates as sport.

The center features this recreation in its current special exhibit, The Great Outdoors: The History of Recreation in Marquette County.
