 Heritage Hike set Oct. 3 in East Kent

The Kent Historical Society and the Kent Land Trust will once again collaborate on a program that will get people out hiking. The two organizations are offering a hike as part of the Heritage Hikes in the Berkshires and Litchfield County this fall.

The hike Saturday, Oct. 3 at 9:30 a.m. will be through the Land Trust’s East Kent Hamlet Nature Preserve and it is on the site of Kent’s earliest industrial endeavors and there are remnants of an iron forge, several mills and a dam that are still visible. Curator Marge Smith will lead the group through forest trails and participants will learn about the significance of the various historical sites on the property and how they impacted the development of Northwest Connecticut over the centuries.
