History hike of Highland Park

Visit the Case Brothers National Historic District and choose a shorter or longer walk. We'll start with historic commentary and then visit the paper mill and mansion areas. Those who want a short history walk may end their walk at the dam at Case Pond near Spring Street. We will visit Upper Case Pond,, along with a visit to the 1917 cabin; and for those who want a more strenuous event, we will continue uphill to the summit of Lookout Mountain. Steep, bumpy, and rocky terrain, but worth the effort, especially on a clear day, when the Heublein Tower is visible to the west. Free. Please wear sturdy sneakers or hiking boots, and bring water. We may have a volunteer geologist on this hike to comment on the rock formations. No dogs, please. Extreme weather cancels. Please check the street signs carefully before parking to avoid parking tickets.
