READFIELD — A history walk set for Friday will lead participants into the Emily Luce Memorial Forest, a 78-acre property conveyed to the New England Forestry Foundation in 1991 by the Luce heirs.
Ellen Blanchard of Readfield, steward of the property, will guide walkers on an exploration of the land, show pictures of the Luce farm in its heyday and show walkers the “Know Nothings” rock, a well-kept secret for more than 150 years, according to a news release. Also on this property are the remains of the original Luce homestead — the foundations, wells and stone walls are still evident.
Participants will meet at 10 a.m. at the forest’s entrance on Huntoon Road, off Sturtevant Hill Road. Carpooling is encouraged. Sturdy, waterproof shoes or hiking boots and a walking stick are recommended and participants are encouraged to bring a sandwich and drinking water.
Registration is appreciated; email crossings4u@gmail.com. Walks are presented by the Readfield Historical Society and Readfield Trails Committee.
