About this walk
A teacher-training school from 1894 climbed the hill above a New England mill city and, over more than a century, became a full public university.
A campus is an argument in brick about what education is for. Fitchburg has a long-running one. Four stops over 1.7 miles, about an hour of walking. 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.
