The Fitwalkers have created 5K and 10K walks routes past these sites. You can begin the walk any time after 1 PM, but must finish by 4:30. There is no cost for the walk. AVA credit is $3. Those signing up for the walk may purchase a Parlour Tour ticket at the reduced price of $12 if not eligible for the senior rate.

You won't want to miss it! Thank you everyone who came to meander Millersburg yesterday, and a special thanks to everyone who helped out. Yesterday was perfect for our Brownsville walk. Not a drop of rain fell until we were in the car headed home. Join us in Millersburg Saturday, April 5. Start any time 8AM-1PM. Well on their way to completing the Centurion Challenge, Karen and Rozy enjoyed today's walk past the famous "Swift" chimney at Chapman School and through the wonderful historic residential areas along the hillside and along Holman Lane, Wildwood & Lower Macleay Trails. |
