Hudson River Maritime Museum

KINGSTON, N.Y. –&nbsp;The&nbsp;Hudson River Maritime Museum has announced Walkie Talkie with Us, a new and&nbsp;novel series of educational historic strolls and more vigorous walks in the Kingston Rondout area.&nbsp;Led by an HRMM Educator and avid walker, each 1 -3 mile walk will explore a different neighborhood or street in the Kingston waterfront area (Rondout), uncovering stories behind historic homes and buildings, local landmarks, and the people who shaped Rondout’s past.
Walkie Talkie with Us&nbsp;is different from other walking tours that provide a walk/stop/talk format which are generally anaerobic. Walkie Talkie with Us tours maintain a gentle yet continuous pace which are more aerobic, with the Educator turning, walking and talking, to share stories and local historical musings with the group. Two routes will be offered on a rotating monthly basis, including a less strenuous “stroll” and a more rigorous “hike,” which will include the steep incline of Wurts Street.&nbsp;Routes will be chosen for walkability and seating opportunities, ensuring comfort and inclusion for all participants.
<a href="https://www.hrmm.org/guided-tours.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Find more information and registration details at hrmm.org&nbsp;or here.</a>
The Walkie Talkie with Us series of historic walking tours is sponsored by CDPHP.
