Housatonic Heritage Walk: “A Step Back in Time: Traditional Indigenous Lifeways in the Lower Housatonic Valley”

Sunday, September 20
1pm

Join an IAIS Museum Educator as we lead a walk along our museum’s trails and end at our replicated 16th Century Algonkian Village. Get a glimpse into the history and culture of local Weantinock and Pootatuck Tribal people, learn about traditional plant uses, and hear of their community life. Please wear sturdy footwear and meet at the front of the museum. Although this is not a long walk, it does cover uneven ground with many rocks and roots. 

Note: Space is limited, so registration is encouraged. Questions, or to register, please email [email protected] or call (860) 868 0518. This is a FREE event, but does not include a tour of the museum interior. Admission for a fee, can be arranged before or after the walk.
