Monument Mountain Hike

Join us for the Monument Mountain Hike, an invigorating journey that pays homage to the literary greats Nathaniel Hawthorne and Herman Melville, who drew inspiration from this majestic landscape. Please meet at Millhouse Court 10 minutes prior to the scheduled time and ensure you bring water and wear proper footwear (closed toe shoes required). Ascending over 1600 feet, we’ll explore the stunning Housatonic River Valley while recounting the famous 1850 trip that inspired Melville’s Moby Dick. Don't miss this opportunity to connect with nature and literature on this historical hike!
