Join us for a late-spring nature walk in Hickory Hill Park, where we will visit the spot where one of Iowa City's pest house was located. Pest houses were used to quarantine patients suffering from infectious diseases such as small pox; this house was used in the early 1900s. Along the way, various flora (and fauna, if we're lucky!) will be pointed out. We will meet at the Conklin Lane parking lot (800 Conklin Lane) at 11:00 a.m., and then proceed to the site. The walking portion will be at least 45 minutes round trip, it includes some hills, and is of a slight moderate difficulty. The entire walk should take 1.5 to 2 hours, depending on how long we stop along the way. Iowa City Public Library Iowa City Public Library America/Chicago public
