The tradition of observing solstice and equinox events at a site in southern Richland County will continue with recognition of the vernal equinox amongst the ancient effigy mounds at Frank’s Hill near Muscoda on Friday (March 20).
The Three Eagles Foundation will welcome you for the sunrise and sunset marking the first official day of spring. Spring begins at 9:46 Friday morning (March 20). Representatives of the Three Eagles Foundation will be on Hill East for both events, weather permitting. If you would like to see the sunrise, you should arrive by 6:30 AM, or by 6:30 PM to observe the sunset. A campfire will follow sunset for discussion of the mounds and sharing of stories if burning conditions will allow.
Frank’s Hill is located two miles west of Muscoda near the intersection of Highway 60 and Highway 193. Park well off the road on the shoulder and enter by the gate. Bring a chair or blanket and your own beverage or snack. Binoculars and a camera are also recommended.
To learn more about the equinox event or for directions, contact Three Eagles Foundation President Mark Cupp at 739-2179 or visit the Foundation’s website or Facebook page.
