Farmington Lakes Park and the surrounding area, in Oswego once the site of the Hafenrichter family farm and gravel mining operation, have been more than just a recreation destination throughout Oswego history.

The Oswegoland Heritage Association and the Little White School Museum will host a “Hafenrichter History Hike at Farmington Lake” at 10 a.m. on Saturday.

Participants will enjoy a guided hike along the trails of Farmington Lakes Park to explore its rich history, as well as the history of the land’s historic owners, the Hafenrichter Family, according to a news release from the museum.

Participants will meet in the parking lot off of Douglas Road and Farmington Lakes Drive, and should expect mild walking conditions for the roughly three-hour hike and history discussion, according to the release.

Pre-registration, which is required due to space limitations, is $5 by calling the Oswegoland Park District at 630-554-1010. Proceeds will benefit the museum.
