The weather cooperated beautifully for the Trolley Brook Trail walk. Many of the town’s residents showed up to enjoy the gorgeous spring day and to learn about this historic trail. About 40 people including several children and three dogs made the approximately half mile walk each way to learn about this old trolley line that used to connect Hopkinton to Ashland. After some brief introductions, Matt Marshquist of this Friends of Ashland Upper Charles Trail group got us started in two separate groups, the first led by Tony Lewis, the second by himself. Joel Arbeitman, of the Ashland Upper Charles Trail committee was present to inform us of some of the historic details of the trail as we walked it.
Below are some photographs to help document the day.
