Hello Everyone,
The National Park Service will be holding a walk on The Southern New England Trail in Millville, MA this Sunday (10/11/09). The trail follows the route of the old New York and New England Railroad (later New Haven, and Penn Central) "Air Line" through southern New England.
Here is the release that the Park Service puts into the local papers and I hope to see some of you there.
Discover the Millville Lock with a National Park Service Volunteer from the John H. Chafee Blackstone River Valley National Heritage Corridor this Sunday, Oct 11, 2009. Hike along the old New York and New England "Air Line" rail trail to visit the best-preserved lock along the Blackstone Canal. Along the way, you will learn a little about the history of Millville and the role of the canal and railroad here. Then continue to the Triad Bridge (P&W, NH, SNE) overlooking the Blackstone River, where you will hear about the Southern New England Railroad – the rail line that sank with the Titanic. This free tour begins at 2:00 PM and last about an hour and half. Most of the trail is flat, but please wear sturdy walking shoes, bring water, insect repellent and your camera. Meet at the parking lot across from St. John's Church, Hope St., Millville, MA. For more information about this programs from the Blackstone River Valley NHC, please call 401-762-0440.
When: Sunday, Oct. 11, 2009 at 2:00 PM
Where: Meet at the parking lot across from St. John's Church, corner of Hope St. and Central Streets, Millville, MA
Thanks
Steve
