HISTORY WALKS TO RESUME SPRING 2014 (Updated 12/19/2013)

Above is part of the group on our final History Walk of 2013 on November 22nd.
Readfield History Walks will resume in the spring.
Read below for some (indoor) winter 2014 offerings.

Thanks to all who joined in on the Readfield History Walks this fall. Increased interest resulted in larger groups so we had anywhere from 25 - 35 people for most excursions. We will resume in the spring and hope to see the familiar faces and perhaps some new ones. Monitor plans as they evolve by checking this web site, or email crossings4u@gmail.com to request that your name be added to our email list for updates / evolving plans.
