At the Mt. Kearsarge Indian Museum, we want everyone to have the opportunity to connect with nature and learn about Native traditions in a welcoming, safe environment. That’s why we’re launching a campaign to make our beloved Medicine Woods accessible to people of all ages and abilities.

Our Vision for Medicine Woods

Medicine Woods is a unique outdoor experience that celebrates the natural world and its deep connections to Native American culture. With your support, we aim to:

• Create an accessible path: Build a new trail that is safe and enjoyable for wheelchairs, strollers, and visitors with limited mobility.

• Ensure safety: Eliminate uneven terrain and significant slopes, add seating where needed, and create a secure space for all.

• Upgrade educational signage: Install engaging signs to share Abenaki names for plants and to highlight their cultural significance and roles in traditional crafts, medicine, and sustenance.

How You Can Help

By contributing to this campaign, you’ll help us preserve the spirit of Medicine Woods while ensuring it can be enjoyed by every visitor. Together, we can create a Medicine Woods in which everyone can learn, explore, and connect.
