Somerville History Bicycle Tour May 31, 2008

Join the Somerville Bicycle Committee and the Somerville Historic Preservation Commission for a bicycle tour of historical sights around Somerville. This year's ride will focus on the many commuter rail stations that Somerville once had, and on the Green Line stations that will soon take their place.

The ride starts at Somerville City Hall, 93 Highland Avenue, at 10 am on Saturday, May 31. We'll take about three hours to ride about ten miles, stopping along the way at railroad-related sites and at such historic landmarks as the Prospect Hill Tower and the Old Powder House. The ride will end at the Somerville Museum, where we'll enjoy refreshments and an exhibit of the Somerville Preservation Awards.

Rain date is Sunday, June 1, same time and starting location. For more information, e-mail rnewman@thecia.net or call 617-628-8895.
