When: All Walktober. Sunrise - Sunset

Take on this self-paced historical journey at your own convenience throughout the month of October. No fixed crowds, no rigid schedules! Step 1: The Militia Muster head to the Giddings Park pavilion trailhead (151 Pond Rd) and scan the permanent yard sign QR code to “enlist” and log your start. Complete the “Common Sense” Trail loop of 1776 steps or 3/4-mile wooded trail loop and save a quick screenshot of your mobile fitness tracker. Step 2: The Liberty Reward (Museum Grounds & Gardens). March over to the Ashbel Woodward Museum grounds to explore our historic period gardens. Scan hidden garden QR codes to test your wits against our interactive 18th-century apothecary plant riddle quiz. Step 3: Claim Your Victory Achieve ultimate victory by bringing your final digital quiz completion badge screen to a docent inside the historic home during open hours to claim your prize! The outdoor park trail and museum gardens are open daily from dawn to dusk. However, to pick up your limited-edition 1776 Walktober prize, view our original copy of Thomas Paine’s “Common Sense,” and see the “Rebel Yankeys” exhibition, you must visit the museum interior during the open weekend blocks. Live Community Tracker See your name on the Rolling Leaderboard automatically when you sign in digitally at the trailhead.
