Join the Friends of Putnam Park, UWEC, and the City of Eau Claire in celebrating Putnam Park Day on May 5th. Enjoy a Trolley Ride through the park that will feature seven historical stops, with each stop narrated by retired UWEC English professor Tim Hirsch. A founding member of the Friends of Putnam Park, Tim has done numerous historical presentations about the park. 

Three tours will be offered, beginning at 1 pm, 2 pm, and 3 pm. Each tour will last approximately one half to three quarters of an hour. Seats are limited so sign up as soon as possible. Ticket costs $10.00 for adults, $5.00 for children 13 and under, plus tax and fees. Brochures will be available at the UWEC end of Putnam Park Drive from 1-4 on May 5th, so others can enjoy a self-guided walking tour. Meet near the back staircase and bike rack pavilion nearest to the Phillips Parking Lot.

Parking Information: Please park in the Phillips Parking Lot outside of the WR Davies Student Center. To access Putnam Trail, head to the wood footbridge connected to the parking lot. This bridge will take you to the back staircase and bike rack pavilion on Putnam Trail.
