Hoofing It – Exploring Portland’s Equestrian Age

with Alessa Wylie from Greater Portland Landmarks

Saturday, May 7 at 1:30 PM

Estimated duration: One hour

Join us for a light-hearted search for traces of a time in Portland when the clopping of horses’ hooves could be heard on the street. When carriage mounts, hitching posts, carriage houses and livery stables were common features in a neighborhood. Some elements are still there if you know where to look. And who knows, we might even hear the clop-clop of horses’ hooves again as we explore.

Accessibility:

There is paid parking across the street from 93 High Street, also plenty of on-street parking. The walk will be along public streets and sidewalks.

Starting and ending point:

93 High Street, Portland, Maine, 04101
