Join the RHS for a Walk...

A Hike to the Monument with the RHS/Sandy Holbrook

It seems like just yesterday we had a packed house for the Stone

Wall presentation. We hope to do it again, only this time we

will be outside with lots of space. On Sunday, July 19, the Richmond

Historical Society invites you and your family to enjoy a

“history walk in the woods.” Plan to meet us at the Vets Hall

parking lot at 11 am, and we’ll decide then on which end of the

Monument Road to begin our trek to the monument of Eliza

Ballou. Will it be over the Devil’s Staircase or from Rte. 119?

Maybe we will go in two groups – each group approaching our

final destination from opposite ends. In any event, the suspense

will remain until that day, and we hope you will join us. Pack

a small lunch if you want, bring plenty of water and some bug

dope! Comfortable walking shoes are highly recommended,

and possibly a walking stick for navigating the Devil’s Staircase.

Depending on which route is taken, the walk will be easy

to moderate with some climbing. Please RSVP to either Jerry

Mills at 239-8807 or mills16@ne.rr.com, or Sandy Holbrook

at 239-4628 or rocknhorsefarm@hotmail.com, so we will have

an idea of head count. Looking forward to seeing you July 19

at 11 am at the Vets Hall.
