“In all things of nature, there is something of the marvelous.”
~ Aristotle
~ 384-322 B.C.
I spotted the sweetest sight of summer – a beautiful white-tailed deer fawn – looking up into the summer sky on a late June afternoon on the grounds of Boulton in Henry’s Woods at Jacobsburg State Park, which spans between Wind Gap and Nazareth, Pennsylvania. This fawn’s twin was grazing nearby.
Boulton was an early American industrial community in the heart of the Jacobsburg National Historic District – once the site where the famous Henry Rifle was made – which lies almost entirely in the park. Henry’s Woods offers very scenic hikes and the rest of the center grounds have multi-use trails.
Jacobsburg State Park offers environmental education programs from the preschool environmental awareness programs to high school level environmental problem solving programs, historical programs, teacher workshops and public interpretive programs.
The park surrounds the Bushkill Creek.
The original land for the center was purchased by the Department of Forests and Waters from the City of Easton in 1959. In 1969, additional land was purchased using funds from Project 70. This brought the total land area of the center to its present size of 1,168 acres.
For more information on the Henry family visit the Jacobsburg Historical Society’s website at http://www.jacobsburghistory.com/.
