MARJORIE TURNER HOLLMAN - Easy Walks in Massachusetts

Thursday, May 7, 2015 at 7:00 p.m. at the Milford Town Library, 80 Spruce Street, Milford, MA 01757

Come join author Marjorie Turner Hollman as she shares pictures from on the trail. Summer is here and everyone is ready to get outside and enjoy the sunshine. But where should you go? Easy Walks in Massachusetts: Bellingham, Blackstone, Franklin, Hopedale, Medway, Milford, Millis, Uxbridge, Wrentham and Woonsocket, RI offers 30 answers to that question in 10 area towns!

It’s all about finding places nearby to spend time in the outdoors. Each chapter offers directions to a trailhead, notes distance and trail conditions, offers points of interest on each trail and indicates where dogs (and their owners) are welcome. There are trails along the Charles and Blackstone Rivers, short climbs to nice views of the Blackstone Valley, walks alongside rushing streams, or around quiet ponds. Several rail trails, completed or in process are included. These are all great locations, close by, to head to when you want to get outside either for some solitude or with your family. It’s all here, right in our backyard. Summer is short; it’s time to get out and explore.

Sponsored by the Friends of the Milford Town Library, this event is free and open to the publ
