Join us every Saturday for the unique experience of seeing one of our heritage breed sheep or goats on their weekly stroll across campus.
Our Manager of Animal Collections takes the the stroll from Smith Farm to the tree table in the Entrance Gardens between 2–2:30pm every Saturday (weather permitting).
Guests are welcome to greet the animals; and encouraged to ask questions about our living collections.
