The Friends of Gunpowder Falls - Graham Equestrian Center are raising funds to build an education facility. This new building will allow the educational programs that are currently held outdoors to be held throughout the year in all weather conditions. Plans also include the opportunity for community and horse groups to use the facility for their own meetings, clinics, demonstrations, and educational programs.

The Graham Equestrian Center is a public facility. Riding and hiking trails throughout Gunpowder Falls State Park are accessible from the GEC facility.

This non-profit, tax-exempt corporation is accepting donations and volunteers to help with special projects.

Contact Holly LaBarre, Facilities Manager,
at 410-663-4445.
