The tradition of observing solstice and equinox events at a site in southern Richland County will continue with recognition of the vernal equinox among the ancient effigy mounds at Frank’s Hill near Muscoda on Thursday (March 20). The Three Eagles Foundation will welcome people for the sunrise and sunset marking the first official day of spring. Spring begins at 4:01 Thursday morning.

Participants should arrive by 6:30 AM for sunrise or 6:30 PM or earlier to observe the sunset. A campfire will follow sunset for discussion of the mounds and sharing of stories if burning conditions will allow.

The site is located two miles west of Muscoda near the intersection of Highway 60 and Highway 193. Park well off the road on the shoulder and enter by the gate. A short hike to the top of the hill is required. Bring a chair or blanket and your own beverage or snack. Binoculars and a camera are also recommended.

To learn more about the equinox event or for directions, contact Three Eagles Foundation President Mark Cupp at 739-2179 or visit the Foundation’s website or Facebook page.
