Housatonic Heritage Hike to the Finney Monument
This Saturday, September 22, 10am, Cunningham Road
Who was Charles Finney?? Famous and fiery evangelist and abolitionist, president of Oberlin College, Finney was born in Warren. Walk to his hidden birthplace and learn about Finney and his times, in Warren and beyond. Finney had his moment of religious conversion in the woods; let the WLT show you what Warren’s woods have to offer as we head into autumn.

Like to run? Here’s a scenic, fast, out-and-back course, with none of the big hills our corner of CT is famous for. Like to walk? Get out and enjoy the fall foliage on a quiet stretch of Warren back-roads. Strollers and leashed dogs welcome at this 5K co-sponsored with Warren Parks & Rec. Proceeds benefit the Parks & Rec scholarship fund. Exercise in the fresh Fall air, raise funds for a good cause…and treat yourself to cider doughnuts at the finish – it’s a perfect start to a September Saturday! Register at
