The Forts of Colrain
Posted on Thursday September 1st 2011
With Muriel Russell, hike leader. We will meet at Chandler Cemetery (junction of Greenfield and West Leyden Roads) at 9:30 and carpool to the site of Fort Morrison, now the Avery farm. Here Muriel will give participants a brief overview of the several French and Indian Wars-era forts in Colrain. Returning to our starting point, we will then begin a hike to South Fort Morris (near Pine Hill Orchards), then down Jurek Rd to Fort Lt John Clark, also known as Fort Lucas, and finish up at Fort McDowell. Bring your lunch and wear comfortable clothes. This moderate hike is free and will last about four hours. To register, call Muriel at (413) 624-3311.
