“If these woods could talk” history walks at Colby Woodland Garden

Guided history walks around the story-rich gardens and woodland.

Join us for a guided history walk through the Colby's woodland garden and meadow. Learn about the land beneath and uncover the stories, mining, scandals and murder. It may be a green and tranquil space today, but the past beyond the vegetation is there to see.
