Join Cane River Creole National Historical Park on Monday, April 8, to experience an almost total solar eclipse at the Texas and Pacific Railway Depot. A park ranger will present during the entire solar eclipse as the moon passes between the sun and the Earth, casting a shadow on the Earth.
While not a total eclipse, Natchitoches will experience about 95% totality, giving us a crescent sun instead of a crescent moon. The eclipse will begin at 12:27 pm with the maximum at1:47 pm and ends at 3:07 pm. The only safe way to look directly at the uneclipsed or partially eclipsed sun is through special-purpose solar filters. Solar viewing glasses will be available to the first 100 visitors. Free eclipse related snacks will also be available while supplies last.
Come experience a total (almost) eclipse of your park! The Texas and Pacific Railway Depot is located at Remembrance Way/7th Street in Natchitoches.
