Description: Join Mount Grace and the Winchendon Historical Society to explore the newly conserved Marchmont Castle property! We’ll take a one-hour up-and-back walk on old roads to find the site of the former Marchmont Castle, built by the White family and demolished in 1955. After the hike, we’ll stop for an ice cream at Murdock Dairy Bar on the way down to the Winchendon Historical Society at 151 Front Street. The Historical Society’s Guy Corbosiero will be our guide to fascinating exhibits related to the Marchmont property, including the White family and their castle, the Winchendon mills, and the photographs and stories of child laborers who worked in Winchendon.
*The trailhead is on Elmwood Road approximately halfway between the Murdock Dairy Bar and the junction of Elmwood Road and Glenallen Street/Rt 202.
