Guilford Cares and Guilford Conservation Commission to Sponsor Abijah Prince Walk on Tuesday, June 13th at 10:30 am.
We will take a shady walk down Abijah Prince Rd. with guides Shaun and Karen Murphy to admire giant old maple trees, identify plants growing along the path and bird calls above. Just off the road we will find the Abijah and Lucy Prince cellar hole dating back to 1764 and recall the inspiring history behind that early settlement.
The Class 4 road we will walk is about a mile round trip. It is not arduous, but there is a steady uphill on the return trip. Walking sticks are always helpful and walkers should come prepared against ticks.
Parking is very limited at the start of the walk. We suggest carpooling, meeting by 10:10 at Broad Brook Community Center, 3940 Guilford Center Road, which is about 3.5 miles from Abijah Prince Rd.
Contact Guilford Cares for more information or to request a ride.
