We're off to Concord this Sunday, October 19! The bus will leave from the Duffy parking lot at 11 A.M. Plan to be there a few minutes early. Don't be late, or the bus will leave without you!The forecast is for cool weather, and we will be outside almost the entire time. Dress in warm layers and wear shoes appropriate for walking on potentially muddy trails.
You should bring something to eat and drink for lunch. We'll stop to eat at around 1:00.
The subsidized fee for Orchard house is $4. Please bring the money to class on Thursday (although if you forget I can collect it on the field trip). The English Dept. will cover anyone who is uncertain about their ability to pay.
Our approximate schedule:
Depart Stonehill: 11:00
Walden Pond: 12:00-1:30. We will walk the trail around the pond, view the replica of Thoreau's house, and visit the original site of the house.
The Old Manse and The Old North Bridge: 1:30-2:30. The Old Manse was inhabited by both Ralph Waldo Emerson and Nathaniel Hawthorne. The Old North Bridge was the site of the first shots of the American Revolution. If time permits, we may stop at Sleepy Hollow Cemetery to see the graves of Emerson, Hawthorne, Thoreau, and others.
