Wait, What? The Pools of Who?

with Renee Bonin from Washburn Norlands Living History Center and Lynda Fournier, Maine Masters Naturalist

Saturday, May 6 at 10:00 AM

Estimated duration: 90 minutes

Come experience history outdoors in the forest. This walk will be led by an interpreter from the Washburn Norlands Living History Center and a Maine Masters Naturalist. Expect to learn about what you see in the forest and hear about tales from the past that took place in this 19th century crossroads neighborhood. One path leads down to a water view and another path leads up to a mountain view. You’ll want to wear comfortable shoes, bring water and bug spray for a walk in this very old forest. The Washburn Norlands Living History is the estate of the remarkable Washburn family. You’ll get to know the family and their neighbors as we walk to the Pools of Simeon and to the overlook, where on a clear day Mt. Washington is visible. The perfect combination for an outdoor historical experience is to have one guide to tell tales of the past and second to provide information about what surrounds you in an old Maine forest. Questions are welcome as we walk and talk our way through the forest.

Accessibility: There is access to car parking. It is a woods path in the forest.

Starting and ending point: Norlands Living History Center
