Mark your calendars for a history walk of the old Smith homestead property on Sturtevant Hill Road, Friday, October 11th 10:00 a.m. – 12:00 noon. Thank you to Steve DeAngelis for hosting and guiding us on a tour of his new post and beam barn and the grounds. He will also share some of the surprises that have been discovered on the land since his family purchased the farm ten years ago. A grandson of Reggie and Olive Smith hopes to join us and share some precious memories of his grandparents and the homestead, where he spent much of his youth “tagging along ten feet behind Reggie, his hero.”

Following that part of the tour, those who wish to are invited to follow a trail “down back” where an old foundation has been discovered. Bring a sandwich walking stick and wear good shoes if you wish to take part in that excursion. There is no fee or registration required. FMI email crossings4u@gmail.com.
