Willard’s Woods: A Brief Journey Through a 12,000 Year-old Landscape
By popular demand, Jeff Howry, Ph.D., a Lexington historian and archaeologist, will lead another walk exploring Willard’s Woods. The area presents many examples of how our New England landscape was shaped by nature and occupied by humans. The tour will show participants many of the features of the 100 acres that tell stories of what has happened in the past 12,000 years. Posters and artifacts will supplement the narrative as we explore various terrains and historic areas within the conservation area. Not seen before imagery of the historic landscape will be presented. Participants will particularly come to appreciate what it tells us about our colonial forbearers’ lives.
