Fireside Chats Series

Join us on Zoom as Oakland County Parks Historian Carol Bacak-Egbo shares fascinating history connected to Oakland County Parks during her Fireside Chat from 7-8 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 19. The topic will be “Those Who First Belonged: Indigenous Connections to our Oakland County Parks." Human history in Oakland County began more than 10,000 years ago. Discover how investigating trails, waterways, the artifact record and resources can help uncover this often neglected history.

Fireside Chats is a free program series. Join online by clicking on this Zoom link. There is no need to preregister.

This year's Fireside Chats series focus on celebrating the 60th anniversary of Oakland County Parks. Discover stories you never knew about the parks system, learn about how the park's natural assets shaped the region and gain an appreciation for those who cared for the land before we became stewards of it.
