A century ago, Farmers Row was one of New England’s most prestigious streets. See the grand estates that define this distinguished road and hear about their colorful occupants on this walking tour.
The distance is a little over half a mile, so the total walk is a bit over a mile. We travel at a moderate pace.
We will meet at the Groton Fire Department parking lot.
While children are welcome to attend, these are history tours that involve walking, standing, and listening for 8-10 minute intervals at each stop. Please plan accordingly.
Children under 14 are FREE but must be accompanied by at least one paying adult.
**Registration is required to attend. No drop-ins.**
