History walked here
And you can too, along with folks who know a lot about the town of Orange
The Orange Land Trust will hold a guided walk of the Triangle Trail at 10 a.m. Nov. 21.
Participants should meet in the parking lot off Mapledale Road.
The walk will include the Wepawaug River Ravine area, including the site of the mill that made cloth for Union soldier’s uniforms. That area was once the industrial center of the town of Orange, organizers said.
Indian artifacts, such as arrowheads and shards of pottery, also have been found near the Wepawaug in that area.
Walkers will also be able to enjoy the newly completed renovation work done in the Wepawaug Ravine by Boy Scout Peter Olson and his fellow scouts in Troop #925, organizers said.
Olson’s Eagle Scout project was to replace deteriorated cedar railing and do other remedial work in that area.
The walk is less than 2 miles in length and should take about an hour. The terrain is moderately difficult in a few places, but generally not difficult, organizers said.
There will be coffee, cider, and pastries available at the parking lot location. For more information, call Judy Ode at 799-6321.
