With the shutdown, the guided walks through Hartford have moved online. Here is one that is not challenging in terms of distance, though it involves a hill and many possible tripping hazards.
If you’ve gotten into birdwatching, this is a good place to do it…just be sure to look at the ground while you’re walking.
Here is the virtual walk:
You don’t have to start on Affleck Street near Ward Street. There are other entries and the one by Zion and Ward has a map posted.
Here is a suggested route. If uneven surfaces make you nervous, stick to the roadways. Keep an eye out for where you are putting your feet — there are many groundhog holes and places where the ground has “settled”.
By the way, there is a Friends of Zion Hill Cemetery starting up. Leave a comment or send an email if interested and I’ll make the connection.
