HINCKLEY — On Saturday, May 4, the L. C. Bates Museum is set to host Walking Conversations as part of Jane’s Walk.
Jane’s Walks are free, volunteer-led walking conversations emphasizing the power of individuals to influence the places they live and the participatory planning approaches that have helped people connect, support each other, and improve a sense of shared identity. Close to 50 walks are planned in 35 cities and towns across the state, from York to Van Buren, representing all of Maine’s 16 counties, according to a news release from Deborah W. Staber with the museum.
As part of Jane’s Walk, attendees at 10 a.m. can tour the architecture of the 1903 L. C. Bates Museum’s Romanesque Revival building, designed by Maine architect William Miller, and walk the historic Good Will-Hinckley grounds around the museum.
They can see the 109-year-old pond and road designed by Carl Rust Parker, learn about the tree plantings near the museum and hear about the history of Good Will-Hinckley.
The museum is located at 14 Easler Road.
