3 Eagles Winter Solstice Observation at Frank's Hill

Join the Three Eagles Foundation, Inc. at Frank’s Hill in southern Richland County on Sunday, December 21st, to view the setting sun on the day of the year with the least amount of daylight, known as the winter solstice. The site is a small knoll peppered with effigy mounds located on STH 193 just off STH 60 a few miles west of Muscoda and has been a gathering place for many solstice and equinox events in the past. Weather permitting, area residents are invited to join the festivities and remember events of the past year. Following sunset, attendees are welcome to gather around the campfire to share stories and learn more about Frank’s Hill

Arrive by 4:00 p.m. to allow for time to hike to the top of the hill. Dress warmly and bring your own food and drink, and a chair for sitting around the fire. Directions to Frank’s Hill are as follows; from the north end of the Muscoda bridge at the intersection of STH 80 & 60, drive west on Hwy. 60 for two miles and turn north on STH 193. Park by the first gate on the east side of the road, a short distance from Hwy. 60, and follow the field road to the top of the hill.
