Meet at Readfield Town Office, 8 Old Kents Hill Road by 10am. Important!! Do not park in front of the building but leave those parking spots open for Town Office patrons. There is also parking available in the grassy area on the opposite side of route 17 / Main St.
From Readfield Town Office we will walk to the lower dam, on Factory Square. There we will view the old lower dam (there were four at one time) and learn about recent efforts of the Readfield Trails and Conservation Committees to revive the area into a park like evironment. Jerry Bley will be on hand to talk about the grant that has been recently received, making it possible to complete the project. We will also walk the new trail, recently groomed by the Readfield Trails Committee, to an area that overlooks where the mill pond once existed. Also at that location is a rare 80ft American Chestnut tree that has gained national attention. There will be more, as time and people's interest warrant. Join us for this interesting tour. No charge or registration. All are welcome.
