The more usual Friday with the Hilltown Hikers. This round takes us down into Middlefield. Much history can be found along old Factory Brook whose reservoirs and mills once held thriving manufacturing operations. Old cellar holes marking homes can still be found. Our LIDAR aficionados gave us a route along a long ago abandoned road down through the woods and across that Factory Brook! Although the route was severely eroded in places, we located the site of the former Smith Home. A couple of wells and a splendidly intact foundation and chimney could be found. A nice barn could be traced out as well.
Afterwards, we mapped out future plans to access other remote areas in town.
