A cooperative effort by members of the Readfield Historical Society and the Readfield Trails Committee. Most walks take place on trails within Readfield and are designed so participants can learn more about the surrounding area - both current and historical - while enjoying the beauty and invigoration of the outdoors.

Readfield History Walks are Reborn!
Milt Wright and Dale Potter-Clark
In October 2012 a group formed that calls themselves “The History Walkers.” Some members also participated in the Bicentennial walks of the 1970-80’s. The “History Walkers” have been fortunate to hike some of Readfield's and the Kennebec Land Trust’s nature preserve trails while learning and sharing some Readfield history. Milt Wright, steward of numerous trails in town, guides the group on the hikes while Dale Potter Clark provides historical background of the area, with input from others. On occasion the History Walks are led by guest tour guides and / or historians. We welcome residents from Readfield and surrounding communities as well as those with family roots in Readfield who wish to participate in any given History Walk. Suggestions are welcome for future tours - email Dale at crossings4u@gmail.com
