This is a Yankee Trailer hike which we have been invited to. Join Tim Cranston on a brisk walk through Wickford. We will begin at the Town Hall at 80 Boston Neck Road and proceed up to the Wickford Elementary School site across the NK Free Library property and through the Bush Hill Nature Preserve before finishing up at the Town Wharf at the end of Main Street. Along the way we will learn about the story behind the Hussey Bridge, the tales of both the Ten Rod Road and the Washington Academy, and the story of Wickford Village from the time of native Narragansetts right through to the present day. The hike is 2.5 miles but there is an opportunity to walk to the beach to add more distance.
To sign up, contact hike leader: TBD
