There are 8.5 miles of blazed trails in Valley Falls Park, and the most interesting section exists at the bottom on of a wheel chair accessible trail that colonial and 19th century archeological ruins of textile mills and boarding houses. The signage along the trail is extensive and thoughtful, and these archeological sites serve as a model for our site [if we do find archeological evidence dating it to the early 19th century]. Interestingly, the lads had the image of the 19th century mill from Sturbridge Village in their mind from last summer and could visualize the turning wheel and structure of the mill. That was cool.
