The Old Walkway

The old stone walkway. We believe this walkway was probably laid in the 1930's and was possible the work of FDR's, Depression era, Civilian Conservation Corps. The CCC had a camp, Camp White, on the other side of the Farmington River and constructed a very similar walk at the Stone Museum. The Tavern was purchased by the State in 1929 and was used as a rangers office and residence for over 70 years.
