Thirteen members of the hiking/walking group (see the picture above) walked the trial in the Fruitlands Museum area near Harvard MA. This trail was about 2.5 to 3 miles long through a mostly wooded area. We walked past the remains of an old home and former brickyards and railroad.
Aside from the trail, Fruitlands Museum is comprised of four separate museums, showcasing Transcendentalists, Shakers, Native Americans and American paintings The Fruitlands Museum Store sells fine crafts by local artists. They also have a very good café serving sandwiches and soup. Unfortunately we found the museum and café closed as it opens only Thursday through Sunday. If you visit, I recommend coming when you can also go to the museums and have a lunch.
After the walk, twelve of us ate lunch at Marty’s Corner Café in Devens.
