Date: Sunday, October 15, 2023

Time: 8:00 am- 10:00 am

Location: Meet at Mt. Philo State Park main parking lot at the park entrance

Come learn about the mountain's fascinating past and how it ties into an important, larger landscape history of Vermont, the Northeast, and the country. Discover the park's hidden-in-plain-sight secrets that you probably walk by all the time. We'll start with a brief talk that will provide a historic context for what we see, then head up (mostly on the up-road because that's where the history is), stopping at sites along the way to look at historic photos and read late-19th/early-20th century writings about the mountain. Whether you're new to the park or a Mount Philo regular, surprises lie in store!

Important information: 

– Bring water, snacks, hat, sunscreen, and layers for the elements. Wear long pants and closed-toed shoes.
