We just discovered this trail behind the famous Weeks House in Greenland through a small notice in the newspaper. The house, one of the oldest brick structures in the "coloniws", is best known because the bricks were made on the spot starting in 1710. The walls of the first floor are 18 inches thick and show the marks of an earthquake that hit this region in the 18^th century. The house is rented, but can be seen on request, and you can join the nonprofit agency that keeps it standing and the surrounding land open and preserved.

The location of the trail is not immediately apparent. Look for an arched "doorway" cut into the canopy of trees toward the right at the back of the great field behind the house. The trail is flat, pretty well marked, and divided into sections. You can guess where the Marsh Trail and the Hardwood Trail take you. The 30-acre conserved area is bordered by the Winnicut River and Tide Mill Road.
