This winter walk follows Somerville’s Peters Brook Greenway and Main Street with stops for historical interpretation.

Get outdoors on a February afternoon with a winter walk along historic Somerville’s Peters Brook Greenway and Main Street with brief stops for historical storytelling. We place Washington’s Headquarters Flags at two stone markers recalling George Washington’s passage through the area in early January 1777 and return for a brief festive open house at Old Dutch Parsonage as the winter sun sets.



Dress for the weather, wear sturdy footwear and bring water.
