Final Paint Out of 2024 at beautiful Hopkins park

Please join us at the L.M. Wise Preserve near Hopkins, MI. for this year’s final Paint Out. Established in 1985, the preserve was a unique gift to the Hopkins Public School system. This gift, a 55 acre parcel of land is historically significant as it is the very location where Hopkins’ first settlers put down roots in 1837. Some of the those pioneers are buried in a small cemetery next to the park.

Beautiful Miller Creek twists and turns its way through the park, offering great views paint. The creek also skirts the edge of a large nearby farm where cornfields and wheat fields blanket the landscape around the park. An old barn and replica pioneer cabin offer structural scenes to paint near the parking lot.

Free Admission • Rustic Restrooms available
