Tour De Nature Centers - Houston, MN
While on a camping trip in southern Minnesota, we took the opportunity to stop at Houston Nature Center, home of the International Owl Festival and the World Owl Hall of Fame! Houston Nature Center is also the trail head for the Root River Trail, a 60-mile paved trail connecting the MN cities of Houston, Rushford, Peterson, Whalen, Lanesboro, Fountain, Preston and Harmony.

Peregrin House

What is Peregrin House?
This is our home school. Peregrin comes from the Latin word for "pilgrim," and that is what we are. We are on a journey toward truth and knowledge. It is a creative journey of faith and service, of study and great joy. We hope, also, that our House is a place of rest for other Pilgrims, a place of sanctuary and refreshment for those who travel with us. Peregrin House is both something that we are and something that we aspire to be.
The Servant Song
Will you let me be your servant,
Let me be as Christ to you;
Pray that I might have the grace to
Let you be my servant, too.
We are pilgrims on a journey,
We are travelers on the road;
We are here to help each other
Walk the mile and bear the load.
I will hold the Christ light for you
In the nighttime of your fear;
I will hold my hand out to you,
Speak the peace you long to hear.
I will weep when you are weeping;
When you laugh I'll laugh with you.
I will share your joy and sorrow
'Til we've seen this journey through.
When we sing to God in heaven
We shall find such harmony,
Born of all we've known together
Of Christ's love and agony.
