Trail Conference Open House

Join Us for Hikes, Workshops, and More at Our Open House Oct. 15

Enjoy tours, workshops, and hikes for all ages at an open house at Trail Conference Headquarters on Saturday, Oct. 15, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. This event for members and the community showcases our mission and celebrates the Darlington Schoolhouse’s 125th anniversary.

As part of the festivities, “Discovering the Long Path, New York’s Greatest Trail,” a solo exhibition by artist Steve Aaron that showcases scenes along the 355-mile trail, will be on display. Local author and storyteller Jim Wright will present “Phantoms of the Ramapos,” a ghost story set in 1938 about Darlington Schoolhouse and other local places. Guided tours of our historic headquarters are scheduled at 11 a.m. and noon.

Suggested donation for each event is $5. Space is limited, and preregistration is recommended. See times and details at nynjtc.org/event/openhouse.

The open house is being made possible by the generosity of lead sponsor Suez (formerly United Water) and additional sponsorships from Cereus Financial Advisors, Inserra Supermarkets, L.L. Bean, Fairfield Inn & Suites, R&S Landscaping and Frost Valley YMCA.
