This week at MILE
Spring semester classes are over. We had our Annual Meeting on 23 April 26.
Only one more activity is planned for members before we disband. See information below:
June16 at 10:00am. Hike at Gay City State Park in Hebron with Nick Bellantoni
The hike will be led by Nick Bellantoni, who was the Connecticut State Archeologist, to explore the archeological sites in Gay City State Park in Hebron, CT. Stone ruins at Gay City State Park are associated with a Methodist community established in 1796 whose members embraced industrialism, operating a series of mills along the Blackledge River. Sites include an old colonial roadbed, house foundations, water-powered mill ruins, sluiceways and a cemetery..
From CT 66 in Hebron Center, travel north on CT 85 for 7 miles. The park entrance will be on your left.
Meet at 10:00 am. Meet at the park entrance on Rte. 85. If you go past the entrance booth, the park cemetery will be on your right and just after that is a dirt turnoff for one of the trails. While we will not be taking that particular trail, it should be a good place to park and meet up.
Lunch: The Flour Girl
12 and 14 Main Street
Hebron, CT 06248
So that we have an accurate count to give to Nick, please contact Elizabeth if you are planning on participating in the hike.
