SUMMARY:History Hike of Highland Park
DESCRIPTION:Explore the Case Brothers National Historic District in the Highland Park section of Manchester. Includes history walk\, visit to the 1917 cabin\, and an optional climb to the lookout with its scenic view of Hartford and beyond.

Rain or shine; extreme weather cancels. Please check the street signs carefully before parking to avoid parking tickets. Town Historian Susan Barlow will lead the moderately paced walk.
