Hike Into History
Friday, November 20th at 9:00am
Free With Museum Admission
Meet at the Stone Machine Shop at the Enfield Shaker Museum
Want to explore the Shaker trails while learning about the history of the buildings and structures along the way? Then join us for our monthly Hike into History!
The woods and the outdoors have always been essential to the New England, and especially the New Hampshire identity. The woodlands around the Enfield Shaker Museum have changed a lot since the Shakers arrived in 1793 until they became the wooded trails we know today. Lean how the woodland landscape of New England has changed, what the Shaker lands were used for, and about the trails around the Shaker Museum!
This hike will be outside and in the woods. Please come prepared with water, snacks, appropriate footwear and layers, and be prepared for sun, rain, cold, bugs, and ticks.
PARKING INFORMATION: Parking can be found at the Stone Machine Shop or in the lot for the Enfield Shaker Museum. Please note if you park in the museum lot that you will have to cross Route 4A to reach the trailhead
ACCESSIBILITY: This 2 mile loop style hike will have about 590ft of elevation change. The trail is wide and semi level, but still has some roots, rocks, and washouts divots from washouts, roots, and rocks.
Coming from a distance? Stay at the historic Great Stone Dwelling! Accommodations.
