[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] Hike Into History Saturday 22nd at 8:30am Looking to explore the Shaker trails while learning about the history of the buildings and structures along the way? Then join us for our monthly Hike into History! What were the Shaker mills used for, and how did mill use shape the New England, and Shaker, landscape? Our Education Coordinator will lead a walk through the woods to the lower Shaker Mill Pond for the Shaker Church Family, while discussing the standing Shaker mill buildings and other points of interest. This month’s walk will be a .5 mile out-and-back style hike and will happen in the rain or shine. If there is thunder, the hike will be cancelled. This hike will be outside and in the woods. Please come prepared with water, appropriate footwear and layers, and be prepared for sun, rain, bugs, and ticks. Meet at the Stone Machine Shop, across the street from the Enfield Shaker Museum PARKING INFORMATION: Parking can be found at the Enfield Shaker Museum or directly at the Stone Machine Shop. Please note if you park at the Museum, you will have to cross Route 4A and there is no crosswalk ACCESSIBILITY: This half mile out-and-back style hike will have less than 50ft of elevation change and will be on narrow dirt trails with some rocks and roots across the path[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
