From Farming to Gravel Pit to City Park
By Dennis Wendell, Emeritus Society curator; Assoc. Prof. Emeritus, ISU Parks Library faculty
By Erwin Klaas, Professor Emeritus, ISU Animal Ecology faculty

Wendell and Klaas will team up to highlight both the geologic and recent history of the area in north Ames that is now Ada Hayden Heritage Park. Recent human activity includes summer hunting and fishing camps by Native Americans and farming by the Jensen, Pasley, and Eness families. In the 1950's, Hallett Materials, Inc. began sand and gravel mining creating a large, deep lake that is now the centerpiece of the park. Visuals will include artifacts, slides and a rare 1988 home video of the Page dragline digging and "walking."
