On March 31 and April 1, Landmark Park will be the site for the Keepers of the Old Ways event. While this is not a park event, this rental may appeal to those who are interested in learning about homesteading skills. Call 850-481-6493 or visit https://www.facebook.com/KeepersoftheOldWays/ for tickets and more info.

Tickets purchased online before March 24 are $25 for ages 14 and over. Day of event tickets are $35 for ages 14 and over and can be purchased at the gate. Park members and kids 13 and under are free. Ticket price is good for both days. Keep your armbands to reenter the next day without being charged a second time. Ticket sales are final. No refunds will be given. This is a rain or shine event. No pets, please. Vendors and food vendors will be onsite during the event, or you can bring your picnic.

Since this is a private event, you MUST be a member prior to March 31 to receive free admission. Special thanks to Keepers of the Old Ways for working with Landmark Park to ensure our members receive free admission. To join, call Julie at 334-794-3452, come see us at the park, or join online.

Some classes do have an additional materials fee. They are noted in the following listing. For those, registration and payment are required. If no price is listed next to the class, it is included with your admission price and registration is not required. Members and children 13 and under are responsible for the materials fee even though their admission price is free.
