As we continue restoring and developing our historic garden, SLCCHC would like to offer you an opportunity to showcase your commitment to our heritage by purchasing a brick engraving in the Silas Wright House Memorial Walkway.

Your purchased brick will have words chosen by you engraved directly onto the newly installed brick pathway in the historic garden. This engraving opportunity is a wonderful way to commemorate special milestones and remember loved ones.

The first batch of engravings for the memorial walkway is planned for summer 2025.

The deadline to be included in the first batch of engravings is June 30, 2025.

Any orders received after this date will be added to the second batch of engravings.

Details:
Date: June 28, 2025
Time: Starts at 10:00 AM
Locations: Inlet, NY and Wanakena, NY
Difficulty Level: Easy-Medium. This hike is approximately 2 miles of walking on relatively easy and flat terrain. There are some swampy areas along the trail.

This hike is part of the Pride Outside Series and runs from Inlet to Wanakena. It is approximately 2 miles one way, or 4 miles if you complete the entire route. The terrain is relatively easy and flat. However, there are some swampy areas along the trail. Those interested should ensure they wear waterproof shoes or shoes that can get wet, apply sunscreen and bug spray, and dress appropriately for hiking in the woods, as ticks are common this time of year.

The hike begins at Inlet and concludes in Wanakena. The tour will cover the general history of Inlet and Wanakena, which have long been popular recreational areas. Highlights include Sternberg’s Hotel in Inlet, which operated from approximately 1889 to 1940, and Knollwood, a historic private camp from the 1920s that features a beautiful suspension bridge. The history of nearby Star Lake and Benson Mines will also be discussed.
