[1:00pm] Cheney Railroad History Walk
- Description:
- There will be a free Cheney Railroad history walk on Saturday, June 26, 1 p.m. Hikers will have an easy, but bumpy, walk along the former railroad, built in 1869 to connect the Cheney silk mills to the main rail line in the North End. At 2.5 miles, it was the longest private freight-and-passenger railroad in the United States. We will hike along the one-mile portion owned by the Manchester Land Conservation Trust, which will take about 1-1/4 hours round trip. Phone hike leader Susan Barlow (860-643-9776) if questions. There are no restrooms along the route. Meet at the North End of Main Street in Manchester, behind Farr’s Sporting Goods, 2 Main Street. Park at the nearby shopping plaza or Eighth Utilities District office building. A special favor will be given to children who attend the hike, sponsored by the Connecticut Forest & Park Association's family ramble program. Extreme weather cancels.
