You are invited to attend a presentation on the history of the land that became the Brickyard Trail, part of the town’s newest park, The Sandra L. Frankel Nature Park. The multi-use trail provides a direct pedestrian and bicycle connection between Town Hall on Elmwood Avenue and Buckland Park on Westfall Road. It extends 0.8 miles through a publicly owned parcel of land that once served as the source of much of Brighton’s raw clay – fueling the former brick manufacturing industry.
The talk, co-sponsored by Historic Brighton and the Brighton Memorial Library, will be presented by Mary Jo Lanphear, Brighton Town Historian and Historic Brighton Board member.
