SCENIC LOCAL WALKS
Greenland, NH
The house is the oldest brick building in New England built from bricks made right on the property. But we’re more interested in the preserved land here where new trails along a little river are now open to the walking public.
Name: Weeks Brick House Trail
Location: Behind the brick Week’s house at the Route 33 intersection in Greenland, NH. Look for historic marker.
Resources: Small parking area and trail marked trail
Rules: Carry in, carry out.
Dogs: OK on leash
Web site: Weeks Brick House
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 18th 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.
Only recently opened to the public, the trail is a work in progress prepared by volunteers including local Boy Scouts. There are still remnants of a rusting old jalopy and the markings are a little confusing in spots. There are small bridges and a gentle trail that leads among some fruit trees, pine stands, and by curious trees with long curving branches. The mile-long walk feels, like it is, as if you are wandering in the back woods behind a large farm. The meadows leading back to the house are dramatic in every season and there are nice views of the slow moving river.
