Mark your calendar for a delightful walk in Green River Village on Tuesday, May 9.
Neither snow, rain nor mud has deterred Guilford Cares and Guilford Conservation Commission volunteers from planning a brand-new set of Senior Walks for the 2023 season. We are particularly excited about this line-up.
There will be six walks, one per month from May through October. Walks are on the second Tuesday of the month at 10:30. Each walk will feature a volunteer guide to share knowledge as we ramble along, asking questions and pointing out observations.
On Tuesday May 9 we will step back in time with an amble through the Green River Village where the past is part of the present. Learn why the Green River bridge construction led by a Guilford resident, was considered state of the art in the 1800's. Did you know that the Green River Village had the first and only drive through post office? Get an inside look at why the timber crib dam still stands strong today. Our guide, Chip Carter, will lead a loop of the Village, focusing on the stories behind the dam, covered bridge, Green River Bridge Inn, and village church.
Parking is available on River Road next to the covered bridge, carpooling is encouraged.
Contact Guilford Cares for more information or to request a ride.
