Scholars for Life: A Brief History of the Tunxis Trail

Connecticut has more than 900 miles of blue-blazed hiking trails, thanks to over a century of volunteers working for the Connecticut Forest and Park Association (CFPA.) Come find out about the origins of the Tunxis Trail, which stretches nearly 50 miles from Southington to the Massachusetts border. 

Speaker Tom Burkholder is an avid hiker, trail manager, sawyer, and member of the Trails Committee for CFPA. He is interested in the history of the area and loves searching old USGS topographical maps and poking around in the woods. Tom has been a professor of chemistry at Central for more than 30 years.
