Join experienced guide Marlies Henderson, CIG, to explore extant portions of the Middlesex Canal, reading passages from Henry David Thoreau describing the towpath, from the Billerica Falls towards Middlesex Village. Focus will be on camaraderie and local history. Meet at the gazebo at the falls for a three hour easy walk. Knee high boots recommended if extending the walk beyond a flooded 500 foot section. 


Location: Meet at North Billerica Historic Mills District (71 Faulkner St, N. Billerica).
