Spring Walking Tour Series:

Historic Neighborhoods of Western Arlington

The directors, staff and friends of the Old Schwamb Mill invite all those interested in historic architecture, landscapes and exercise to join us this spring for walking tours in western Arlington neighborhoods. The tours, led by historian Ed Gordon, will be offered Saturday mornings, 9:00 – 10:30 AM in May and June. The meeting place is the Old Schwamb Mill, 17 Mill Lane (off of Lowell Street-limited on site and nearby parking). The tours will explore the Arlington Heights, Mt. Gilboa/Crescent Hill and Little Scotland/Arlington Heights commercial district. The Mill's tour series will be followed on June 12 with a special co-sponsored stroll through the Mill Brook Valley with Walking in Arlington.

The tours always put the comfort of walkers first and are planned with an eye towards traffic safety, waiting for everyone to catch up before discussing a building or site as well as minimizing encounters with steep inclines, despite the hilly nature of the terrain. We'll seek out both well known landmarks such as the Arlington Coal & Lumber building as well as hidden gems such as a stone chapel designed by a famous architect and the residence of a world class German wood sculptor. Set forth below are tour titles and highlights. The cost of each tour is $15 per person or $50 for all four tours offered between May 1 and June 5 (save $10). Call Ed Gordon at (781) 643-0554 for further information. Make checks payable to OSM. WE look forward to seeing you on the Mill's walks this spring. Tours begin and end at Old Schwamb Mill.
