Print Story | Email Story
MONTEREY, Mass. — The Bidwell House Museum invites the community to a guided winter hike on Saturday, Jan. 18, at 10 a.m. 
 
Participants will explore the museum's 6 miles of trails, discovering a unique winter landscape with potential wildlife sightings.
 
The hike will cover 1-2 miles and last approximately 1-2 hours, depending on conditions. If snow is present, attendees should bring snowshoes and poles, dress in layers, and carry water and a snack. In the absence of snow, it will be a traditional hike, so appropriate footwear is required.
 
The hike will be postponed if severe weather is forecast, and space is limited to 15 participants. Pre-registration is required at bidwellhousemuseum.org/events. Carpooling is encouraged due to limited parking in snowy conditions.
 
The museum grounds, spanning 194 acres of trails, woods, and historic stone walls, are open year-round for free.

Letter: Thanks to Pete's Garage in Sheffield

Letter to the Editor

To the Editor:

I want to commend a wonderful person who works there [at Pete's Garage]. I had a flat tire and only had a few dollars. This young man checked the tire and I was informed that it can't be repaired. He changed my tire with the spare.

I can't thank a person like that enough. You have very nice people living in the Shires. Nobody in Connecticut would do that. Thank you very much sir.
