Looking for a fun, interesting activity this summer? Take the self-guided History Explorer Walk in Greensboro Village or Greensboro Bend.
Children and adults alike are invited to explore a bit of Greensboro’s history with a fun, self-guided walk through the village sponsored by the Greensboro Free Library and Greensboro Historical Society. Pick up a map, with a questionnaire on the back, at the Greensboro Free Library, the Greensboro Historical Society or, in the Bend, at Smith’s Store. It’s a great walk, with some surprising information and there are even prizes for answering questions. Do the walk all at once or in segments, as suits you.
Follow the numbered designations to each historic location where you can read the history and answer the questionnaire, if you wish, to receive a free volume of the history of Greensboro. Find photos, for example, of the first town hall or the Caspian Lake House in Greensboro Village, or the workers at the first sawmill in Greensboro Bend.
Much of the information came from the booklet “An Architectural Walking Tour of Greensboro, VT” prepared by GHS in 2001. Copies of that booklet are available to check out from the GFL or for sale on the GHS website or purchased at the GHS museum on a Saturday morning.
