Highland Park history hike and climb November 25
The public is invited to a free hike on Saturday, November 25, starting at 1:00 p.m. at the small parking lot on Spring Street near the bridge and waterfall, (GPS 670 Spring St.). We'll start with commentary about the Case Brothers National Historic District and then visit the paper mill and mansion areas. Those who want a short walk with history info may end their walk at the dam at Case Pond. For those who want a more strenuous event, we will continue uphill to the summit of Lookout Mountain. Steep, bumpy, and rocky terrain, but worth the effort, especially on a clear day, when the Heublein Tower is visible to the west. About 3 miles. Please wear sturdy sneakers or hiking boots; bring water. Check the street signs before parking to avoid parking tickets. No dogs, please. Extreme weather cancels. One of the 23 walks in 2023, celebrating Manchester's 200th birthday.
