Off-the-Beaten-Path Excursions


Adult Enrichment / Out & About -
Winter 2025

Spend time outdoors and join one or both of these easy-to-moderate guided hikes to locations you might not have visited before. As we explore these extraordinary sites, we’ll take time to gaze at the natural formations we encounter and hear stories of historical significance along the way.

Great Brook Farm Park, Carlisle: This 1,000-acre state park established in 1967 features 19.5 miles of trails... but we will only explore about 4.5 miles, checking out the fauna and kettle ponds that dot this beautiful site.

Henry David Thoreau’s Birthplace: Reimagine what Mr. Thoreau saw and experienced in his childhood as we explore the area around this historic home. We’ll see remnants of the previous trails created by Hanscom Air Force Base and Massport, as well as vestiges of farmlands and surprisingly old forests.

Gregory Leschishin


Gregory Leschishin was born in the city where Rock and Roll was discovered: Cleveland! Besides being a chart fanatic, Gregory was a disc jockey before he was determined to work in Hollywood. For close to five years, he was one of the musicologists who actually determined the biggest hits that the United States listened to and purchased!
