Cranberry Pond Walk @ White Memorial Foundation Nov. 30

On Saturday, November 30 join Geri Griswold at White Memorial Foundation in Litchfield in the 10th annual walk to Cranberry Pond. This is the perfect activity to work off Thanksgiving Day dinner and enjoy the fresh Connecticut air and the beauty of the White Memorial Foundation in Litchfield.



Nothing could cap off a wonderful “on the cusp of winter” stroll along the spectacular trail Cranberry Pond Trail better than a cup of hot coffee and a thick wedge of Crimson Pie swimming in a pool of thick ginger crème anglaise! 


Meet in the Museum. 2:00 P.M., We’ll drive over to the trailhead together. Please pre-register for this pie-enhanced stroll by calling 860-567-0857 or by registering online: www.whitememorialcc.org

After your stroll head to the Nature Museum that interprets the natural history of the White Memorial Foundation property, and is the focal point of White Memorial’s environmental education program. The museum building was once the summer home of Alain and May White. 


Today you will find hints of the original architecture interspersed with wall-to-wall exhibits that engage and educate all age groups. The grounds surrounding the Museum, historically known as Whitehall, include 2 bird-feeding areas, picnic tables nestled in picturesque settings, and multiple trailheads. A rich variety of habitats are unveiled in this small area. A quick trip down the hill behind the Museum leads you to and around Ongley Pond, where wildlife abounds.
