About this walk

The psychiatric hospital that treated famous poets, a Winslow Homer family house, and the woodland that helped launch a national reservation movement

This is where Belmont worked out what kind of place it wanted to be. Five stops over 2.0 miles, about 24 minutes of driving. The story for each stop plays as you arrive, so nothing has to be looked up and nobody has to be followed.

It works as well at eight in the morning as it does at dusk. Stop for coffee, pick it back up.
