This is a two part program including the history of the short-lived Central Mass Railroad that ran from North Station in Boston to Northampton and also about how communities all along the way are converting their sections of the 104-mile railroad into a connected rail trail. This program will focus on the Clinton section that includes the 1,100-foot long tunnel that will be a true highlight and central part of the Mass Central Rail Trail when completed.

Special Instructions: Join us at 6:30 for discussion and snacks. Program starts at 7pm. Space is limited to 75.
