The walk (90 minutes) will be followed by a casual lunch at the Clean Plate Restaurant. This is a wonderful opportunity to become better acquainted with friends old and new.
PLEASE SIGN UP SOON so we can get a head count.
Benefit Street was created in the mid-18th century "for the benefit of all," a colonial thoroughfare with an enviable collection of 18th and 19th century wood-frame houses. Although the street gives the appearance of a museum mile, it is actually a vital urban neighborhood enhanced by on-going preservation efforts since the 1950s.
