Recent History along Gardiner's Historic Downtown Walking Trail

with Tarama Whitmore from Gardiner Main Street

Saturday, May 6 at 11:00 AM

Estimated duration: One hour

The history of the City of Gardiner is rich and much is centered on it's downtown area, adjacent to the confluence of the Cobbosseecontee Stream into the Kennebec River. Meeting at the Gardiner waterfront, we will follow Gardiner's Historic Walking Trail, rich with facts of its residents’ life over the past four hundred years via panel installations along the route. The focus of our walk will be on the more recent history of Gardiner, as many changes have, and are currently, taking place in our downtown. A little less than a mile, our walk will take us along the Kennebec River, the Cobbossee Stream, and down Water Street, ending where we began at the Gardiner waterfront. Bring a picnic to enjoy at the Waterfront Park afterwards or visit one of Gardiner's excellent eateries.

Accessibility: There will be some walking on old brick sidewalks, but mostly accessible.

Starting and ending point: Gardiner Waterfront
