Thursday morning group walk in historic Chehalis

Come walk with us! Please park on the street behind the hotel, not in their lot. Well-behaved, leashed dogs are welcome with owner clean up.

Please arrive early to register as the walk starts promptly at 10 am. The walk is 10K (6.2 miles) but there is also an option for 6K (3.7 miles). A mostly flat course on hard surfaces.

The Chehalis Historic walk gives you a glimpse of the past. Walk past many buildings and homes on the National Register of Historic Places as you travel through neighborhoods and the main street of town. A few noteworthy are the Northern Pacific Railroad Depot, now the site of the Lewis County Historical Museum, the Obadiah B. McFadden house, the oldest continuously lived in residence in the state, and the US Post Office built by the Public Works Administration. The walk also touches on the future as you walk past the Penny Playground, newly remade as a playground that features toys that are all inclusive for children.

This walk is hosted by the Capitol Volkssport Club. Everyone is welcome, but everyone must sign the waiver to participate. The club has costs to put on these walks, so we ask for a donation to help offset those costs. Club members do not usually sign up using Meetup, but you can expect between five and 10 club members on a Thursday walk.
