Bat boxes are located throughout the Homestead property, and bats can often be spotted nesting and flying around the site.

She has done extensive bat research at eastern Pennsylvania parks and historic sites including Valley Forge, Hopewell Furnace, and the Berks County Heritage Center. No admission is charged for this program. It will take place in the Wayside Lodge.
