Come join us for a First Day Hike January 1, 2017, on the Barefoot Sam Trail behind the Mark Twain Birthplace State Historic Site in Florida, Missouri. The trail is a half-mile in length and the self-guided hike should last about 20 minutes. This is a short, easily-walked and "child-friendly" trail. Storybook boards will accompany the trail to delight pre-K through 3rd grade children with a winter-themed tale of animal life in the woods, but all ages will enjoy the hike. Come any time between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Hot cocoa will await hikers at the end of the trail, and the Mark Twain Memorial Shrine will be open for visitors during that time as well.
