Historic Hanna’s Town is proud to participate in and be a registration site for the 19th annual March for Parks, coordinated by Westmoreland County Parks and Recreation Citizens Advisory Board.
The March for Parks is a fun event to raise money for new park & trail projects in Westmoreland County. However, due to pandemic precautions, we are not able to host the traditional March for Parks event in 2021. However, marchers (and their dogs!) can still pick a park or trail on Saturday, March 27, have a good time on their own and have a more widespread opportunity to support all 10 of our county parks and 5 trails.
Click the “Register Now” link and follow the process to pre-register. Please select one of the nine locations where you’ll check-in at on March 27. You can also donate online when you pre-register; online donations are made through PayPal.

Event Details
Discover the vibrant world of watercolor painting through the unique palette crafted from farm products and local foraged pigments at Historic Hanna’s Town. We will be walking the trails and area to collect pigment and create our own watercolor paint with local farm fresh honey!
What are natural watercolor pigments? Natural watercolor pigments are derived from organic materials, offering a rich, earthy palette that synthetic paints often lack. By using elements sourced from local farms and natural foraging, artists can create stunning works that reflect the beauty of their surroundings.
Please dress accordingly for walking in wooded areas.
Historic Hanna’s Town is a beautiful and quiet Westmoreland County park. While we do work to preserve our historic built environment on site, we are also dedicated to preserving our natural environment through demonstration gardens, native plant restoration, and developing walking trails.
Pre-registration encouraged. Walk-ins also welcome. Please check in at the front desk of the Museum Shop upon arrival.
$10 for non-members | $8 for members.
