Callahan State Park

<h3>Sunday, May 3rd 10:00 am – 12:00 pm Cost: $15 ($5 off for FHC members)</h3>
<h4>Join the Framingham History Center and local historian Brett Peruzzi for a guided hike in Callahan State Park.</h4>
<h4>As the largest green space in Framingham, Callahan State Park is a year-round destination for hiking, bird-watching, horseback riding, mountain biking, and cross-country skiing. Yet before it became a state park more than 50 years ago, the land had been farmland for centuries. What traces of that history remain, and what stories do they tell?</h4>
<h4>On this two-mile hike, you will learn:&nbsp;</h4>
<ul><li>Who the park is named after</li><li>The park’s notable natural features and current uses</li><li>The history of the land and its agricultural legacy</li><li>How to spot clues in the forest that reveal its past</li></ul>
<h4>The hike will cover rocky trails with several hills. Please wear sturdy shoes and be prepared for uneven terrain.</h4>
<h4>If you have any questions feel free to reach Claudia Ruiz Gustafson, FHC Programs Manager at claudia@framinghamhistory.org.</h4>
