Middlesex Canal Historic Ride

Written by Boston Biker on Jul 27

Another great event sent in by Ron!

Saturday, October 3: 7th Annual Middlesex Canal Historic Ride (2009), co-sponsored by the Somerville Historic Preservation Commission, the Middlesex Canal Commission, and the Middlesex Canal Association.

Meet at Sullivan Square T station (to the right of the main entrance, by the historic canal plaque) at 9:00am.

We will follow the route of the old Middlesex Canal (1793-1853) to Lowell, with lots of stops along the way to see remnants of the canal, including some restored sections and the home of the canal’s designer, Loammi Baldwin).

We will get to Lowell in time to take the train back to Boston. 38 miles (but riders can also catch earlier trains at 20 miles in Wilmington or at 28 miles in North Billerica).
