CT Trails Day at the Nathan Hale Homestead

Coventry, CT – On Saturday, June 4th from 2 to 3:30 pm, join Connecticut Landmarks’ staff for a slow two-mile walk down the 18th-century road toward Norwich in celebration of CT Trails Day. This unimproved dirt road into the Nathan Hale State Forest is the route that the Hale family used to take their livestock to market in Norwich, CT. Participants will also explore the agricultural history of the once extensive Hale family farm. Heavy rain cancels. Walking tour is free, regular admission applies for tour of the Nathan Hale Homestead before or after the walk.  Registration is recommended, register at (860) 742-6917 or hale@ctlandmarks.org.

A long-standing celebration of Connecticut’s magnificent trails and its countless supporters and volunteers, CT Trails Day is coordinated by Connecticut Forest & Park Association as part of the American Hiking Society’s National Trails Day. For details on CT Trails Day, visit www.ctwoodlands.org.

The Nathan Hale Homestead is located at 2299 South Street in Coventry, CT 06238 and is open for regular tours from May through October.  For hours or more information, visit www.ctlandmarks.org; call (860) 742-6917; or email hale@ctlandmarks.org.

Nathan Hale Homestead is the birthplace of Connecticut’s State Hero, Nathan Hale, who was hanged as a spy during the Revolutionary War. The house, built in 1776, belonged to Nathan’s parents and family, and is located on the only site he ever called home. Its furnishings include several Hale family possessions and other collections amassed by Connecticut lawyer and philanthropist George Dudley Seymour, who purchased the Homestead in 1914 and began a program of restoration that is largely preserved today. The Hale Homestead is situated on 17 acres, adjoining the 1500-acre Nathan Hale State Forest, lending to the site’s substantial rural character.
