Each Trailside Museum was designed with a small outdoor lecture space. Equipped with chestnut log seats and a tree stump rostrum, the grounds were used for weekly informal talks. Pictured above, Arthur B. Williams teaches a college course as part of a collaboration between the Cleveland Museum of Natural History and Western Reserve University. Until 1950, Willams was the public face of the Trailside Museum experiment. Through his work as the Park Naturalist, he helped guide and popularize the work performed by the Cleveland Museum of Natural History in the public parks. | Source: Courtesy of Cleveland MetroparksDownload Original File
