Readfield History Walks for FALL 2016 Will Begin Soon...

Plans are underway for three History Walks this fall

Friday, September 23rd 10am-12noon
Readfield History Walk #36
 with

Readfield Historical Society, Readfield Trails Committee

and Readfield Corner Water Association

Learn about the history and visit Readfield Corner’s original drinking water source - “the spring in John O. Craig’s pasture”; from there walkers will venture to the Readfield Corner Water Association on Bill Bourret Drive and hear the history of that from Ed Dodge, president of the association and Bill Bourret, one of the founders. The Water Association is perhaps one of Readfield's "best kept secrets". From there we will cross Church Road onto the site of the old Kennebec County Agricultural Fair to see recent improvements and additions made by the Readfield Trails and Conservation Committees; and to hear about the days when the largest fair in Maine was held right there in Readfield! Park at Readfield Fairgrounds on Church Road by 10am. Bring a sandwich if you wish to share lunch at the home of Bill and Flo Drake immediately after the walk.
Saturday, October 15 (rain date Oct.22nd) 10am-12noon
