SUMMARY:Dino Trail Week* – Dinosaur Footprints at Barton Cove: History and Geology Walk
DESCRIPTION:Join Sarah Doyle and a guest geologist/paleontologist for a leisurely walk around Barton Cove in Gill\, MA. Learn about the role of this site in the 19th-century discovery of fossilized dinosaur footprints when the property was owned by Roswell Field\, a local farmer and businessman who was an early discoverer of the tracks. Dress for the weather\, wear sturdy shoes\, and bring water. Consider enjoying a picnic before the walk. The trails are not difficult but are rough in spots and covered in tree roots. Meet at the picnic tables at the Barton Cove Campground Day Use area on Barton Cove Road in Gill\, MA. The walk is less than 1 mile long. For adults and children over 12 years old. Sponsored by our Friends Group. Rain date: Saturday\, July 18. \n* Dino Trail Week \nAn asterix identifies Dino Trail Week programs\, part of a celebratory week in July of performances\, films\, talks\, exhibits\, and activities inspired by dinosaur footprints in the Connecticut River Valley. Look for events from our partners during Dino Trail Week: Friends of the Great Falls Discovery Center\, the Pocumtuck Valley Memorial Association\, Piti Theatre\, the Beneski Museum\, the Trustees of Reservations\, Springfield Science Museum\, Wistariahurst\, and the Franklin County Chamber of Commerce.
