To celebrate Earth Day, we join Beverly’s Open Space and Recreation Committee to explore the area that was known as the Basse River Side where the five “Old Planters” (Conant, Balch, Trask, Woodberry & Palfrey) received a “Thousand Acre Grant” in 1635. During this walk we will visit sites that have connections to these families and how they helped shape Beverly as we know it today. Meet at the corner of Elliott and McKay Streets. $10/free for members. Rain or shine; in case of severe weather, check with us that day.
