The Thayer Trail: Father of West Point

A short walk through Braintree tracing Sylvanus Thayer's climb from a colonial farmhouse to the United States Military Academy

This is where Braintree worked out what kind of place it wanted to be. Four stops over 0.4 miles, about 16 minutes of driving. Every stop narrates itself when you get there, at whatever pace you feel like walking.

Nothing is booked and nothing expires, so you can start it on a whim and finish it whenever you like.
