You can first decide whether local history or a particular event day should be the focus of your trip.
Memorial Sites and Worship Services
The Bicknell Heritage Circle is a memorial site for residents of Bicknell who served in the U.S. military; it also honors those who lost their lives defending the nation. The site honors members of all branches of the armed forces, as well as prisoners of war and those listed as missing in action (POWs and MIAs). It also names Bicknell residents who were killed in action. In this way, recognition of military service and remembrance of people from the town stand side by side.
A separate area of the Bicknell Heritage Circle honors outstanding players and coaches who played at nearby Hooper Field. This tribute adds a distinct sports connection to the story of Bicknell’s local history.
St Philip Neri Catholic Church in Bicknell offers Mass in English on Sundays at 9:00 a.m. This gives travelers who would like to include an English-language service in their plans a specific time to attend. Service times may change, so check the current schedule before planning your stay around it.
