Putnam History Museum’s Education and Public Programming Manager Kara Mattsen will lead hikers through what was once the 19th-century Mead Farm. The trip will include visits to three stone chambers on the property as well as highlight several impressive stone structures on the way. Putnam County’s mysterious stone chambers have long been the subject of debate; join us on the hike to see for yourself! The hike is medium difficulty, about 2 miles total, out-and-back. Please plan to carpool as parking is limited at the trailhead.
