Our eighth annual Heritage Walks Program will be held on two weekends this Fall, September 19-20 and October 3-4, 2009. Come join us on short walks as well as longer hikes, walking tours of towns and historical buildings, nature and birding walks, tours of industrial site ruins, and, a canoe/kayak trip on the river. Historians, naturalists, and environmentalists will help participants explore
- the Housatonic River
- the history of the villages and towns in the region as expressed in archaeological and industrial sites, architecture, bridges, and monuments,
- both prominent and unsung geological, ornithological and horticultural resources, and
- splendid autumn foliage scenic vistas.
Co-sponsored by the National Park Service.
