SUMMARY:Timber & Talent
DESCRIPTION:Be sure to check out the new display at Hume Carnegie “Timber and Talent.”\nThe museum building was constructed in 1904\, one of 2509 libraries built in the U.S in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries with money donated by philanthropist Andrew Carnegie. In 1996\, after a complete restoration\, it was re-opened as the Hume-Carnegie museum. It was made possible by funds donated by Mr. Horace Hume\, a local businessman and entrepreneur who also built the replacement library. \n

SUMMARY:The Union Depot Railroad Museum
DESCRIPTION:The Union Depot Railroad Museum building is what remains of the original grand 1888 Mendota Railroad Station. However\, when the society acquired the site it was virtually an empty shell. Many volunteers spent countless hours restoring the building to its original state with ticket office and waiting room. The museum has a waiting room for trains that stop in Mendota\, a large HO model railroad layout depicting Mendota with its grand railroad station\, display rooms with railroad artifacts\, and an extensive railroad library. \nUnion Depot Railroad Museum is an MMHS museum and an Amtrak station stop. The building is a restored part of the original railroad station built in late 1880’s which was torn down in the early 1940’s. The museum houses many railroad artifacts\, HO model railroad depicting Mendota in the late 1930’/ early 1940’s\, extensive railroad history library\, and many displays. Part of the building is a waiting room for Amtrak passengers. \n

SUMMARY:Woodcock Walk - Hickory Creek
DESCRIPTION:As the sun sets\, the male woodcock makes his way to the edge of a field and prepares for his extraordinary courtship performance. Normally timid and elusive\, the woodcock is readily observed during the early spring breeding season\, when he leaves the safety and cover of the forest to attract a mate. We will spend the first part of the evening discovering just how amazing this bird is\, then hike to view the courtship flights of the male. \nFee: Free! Age: Ages 7 or older. Registration required by Wednesday\, March 13\, by calling 815-722-4121 or online. \nBe sure to dress for the weather as we will stand in place for a bit to listen for the calls and look for the flight of the woodcock. Meet at the Hickory Hollow Shelter\, which can be accessed from the second parking lot furthest from the LaPorte Road Access entrance. \nThe hike will be approximately 1 mile on both paved and natural surface trails over uneven terrain. Anyone who requires an auxiliary aid or service to participate in this program should submit a request online no later than 48 hours before the program. \n
