Featured Enjoy a walk through the North Pasture Trail
The site may be closed for the season, but a newly restored trail has just been opened!
Enjoy a morning stroll, afternoon run, or an evening walk through the meadow along the North Pasture trail past the gorgeous stone wall. Special thanks to Darrow School’s Hands-to-Work program, which “highlights purposeful work, leadership through service, and the rewards of a cooperative effort to sustain and improve the Darrow community.” The Hands to Work trails team worked extremely hard preparing the trail for general public use, and we hope you take advantage of it!
