Third Thursday Treks
March 19 @ 4:00 pm – 5:00 pm CDT
Long before the rise of AirBnB and Motel 6, automobile travelers in the roaring twenties often sought refuge in tourist camps. Join us for a fascinating walk through the Old Forest as we explore our own Tourist Camp.
February’s Third Thursday Trek will delve into how this short-lived camp shaped the park’s natural landscape and ecological community today, revealing the historical significance of human impact a century later. Let’s uncover the stories hidden in the forest together!
Registration opens one week in advance.
Trek surfaces may include paved road, limestone gravel trail, and Old Forest natural trails with uneven surfaces.

Overton Park Conservancy is the nonprofit organization that has been caring for Memphis’s central green space since 2012. With the generous support of our community, we work each day to make the park a beautiful and welcoming place for all Memphians, as well as a valuable source of urban habitat for wildlife.
The Conservancy must raise roughly 85% of our budget each year from people like you who care about the many things Overton Park has to offer. A gift of any amount helps us maintain and improve the park.
