About this walk

A walk through the riverside mill complex where Digital Equipment Corporation built the minicomputer industry

Maynard was built to make things, and the buildings still say so. Five stops over 2.3 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.
