Early winter offers a unique opportunity to see elements of the landscape that are often obscured by leaves or deep snow at other times of year — including relics and stories from the past. Join Senior Historian Alan Rumrill and ecologist Brett Amy Thelen for a 2.6-mile roundtrip walk along the Cheshire Rail Trail, where we’ll search for signs of the former Cheshire Railroad, learn how the railroad shaped Keene’s history, and enjoy the subtle beauty of stick season. This section of trail is a wide, well-maintained path, with a packed dirt surface and minimal elevation gain.
