About this walk

Nichols has crowned the same Dudley hilltop since 1815 — first as a Universalist academy, later the town high school, and since 1931 as a business college that kept the historic halls at its center.

A campus is an argument in brick about what education is for. Dudley has a long-running one. Four stops over 0.0 miles, about 32 minutes of walking. Each one starts talking the moment you reach it, so you can keep your eyes on the street instead of a screen.

There is no start time to make — walk it in one go, or leave the rest for another afternoon.
