StoryWalk® at Bradys Run: Where Literacy Meets the Trail
COMING SPRING 2026! Welcome to the StoryWalk® at Bradys Run Health and Walking Trail—a permanent outdoor reading experience designed to blend storytime with the benefits of active living. By placing the pages of a children’s book along our popular walking loop, we transform a simple stroll into an interactive educational adventure.
GRAND OPENING/ RIBBON CUTTING CEREMONY- Saturday, May 2nd @ 12PM
RAIN DATE: Saturday May 23 @ 12PM
FREE! OPEN TO THE PUBLIC. Join us for the grand unveiling of our permanent StoryWalk®. Our first featured story, George Washington in Logstown, is a true local treasure! Sponsored by the Beaver County Historical Research & Landmarks Foundation, this book was written in 2020 by two talented students from Baden Academy.
In collaboration with History Weekend and America 250, the afternoon will include a brief unveiling celemony, light refreshments, and interactive booths from our story sponsors. The sponsored story will be available for purchase with all proceed benefiting BCHRLF.
Our Mission: Healthy Bodies, Growing Minds
The StoryWalk® project is an educational program focused on:
Early Literacy: By exploring stories surrounded by the sights and sounds of nature, children naturally expand their vocabulary and sharpen the comprehension skills they need for a head start in school.
Physical Activity: Moving from station to station keeps heart rates up and curiosity high, encouraging families to trade screen time for sunshine.
Family Connection: A dedicated space for families to spend free, quality time outdoors, promoting love for both reading and nature.
2026 Storytime Schedule with Community Collaborators
This installation is a testament to the strength of Beaver County’s local partnerships. Each story featured on the walk is supported by organizations dedicated to the well-being of our community members. These books are also available to borrow at all library locations.
