Little Known Hiking Ruins of Southern New England with Dr. Nick Bellantoni

Have you ever walked in the woods and come across a pile of rocks, a set of stairs seemingly going nowhere or some other interesting archeological ruin and wonder – Why is it out here? What was this? What was it used for? And who built this? Archeological ruins have mysteries, and Former State Archeologist Nick Bellantoni tries to unravel many of these mysteries in his new book Hiking Ruins of Southern New England, co-authored with Dr. Barbara Ann Kiefer. Nick will be joining us on Tuesday, May 7th at 6:30 pm to share a number of stories from his book and dispel some of the mystery surrounding these sites that are found in the woods all around us and share info on the trails where they are located. Books will be for sale after the event.
