Housatonic Heritage Walk:
Touring the Neighborhoods of West Stockbridge - Rockdale Cemetery
Saturday, September 24, 10:30 - 12 noon

As part of the Housatonic Heritage Walks program, join Bob Salerno and John Parker to learn about Rockdale, a lesser known, but prominent, early area of industrial West Stockbridge. Our tour will start at Rockdale Cemetery, burial place of some of the town’s major residents during the height of the industrial age. Time and weather permitting, we will continue along the old railroad bed and see some industrial ruins from the early 19th century. The walk will be approximately 1/2 mile long and take about 1 1/2 hours.  We will meet at the Rockdale Cemetery on Rt. 41, approximately 2 miles south of the village center. Please register by sending an email with the number and names of participants to info@weststockbridgehistory.org.
