Adirondack Trails with Tales
2:00 pm
FREE
For those who love history hikes, Barbara Delaney and Russell Dunn have
created the ultimate guidebook to the treasure trove of fascinating
historical stories to be found on the trails of the Adirondack
Mountains. As Times-Union columnist, Fred LeBrun, notes,
Adirondack Trails with Tales “is a rich narrative, full of
historical nuggets, but still very much a lucid and useful guide for
feet on the ground. They have done an outstanding job once again.” The
breadth and variety of the stories in this compilation distinguish
Adirondack Trails with Tales from other trail guides. Join us as the
authors provide understanding and context for the dozens of trails and
paths that wind through the rich history of this region.
