This tour will take people around what was the original village of the West Parish of Windsor, established in the late 1700s. While only some of the old buildings from that time still exist, visitors will be able to compare old photographs and stories with the view from today. Sheddsville (West Parish) and Windsor village (East Parish) were the two original settlements of the town of Windsor in the 1700s and Cemetery Rd was part of the main thoroughfare between the county seats of Windsor and Rutland. We will meet outside Sheddsville Cemetery on Cemetery Road at 9 AM. Karen Diop will guide groups from outside the Cemetery and be joined by Ann Danna in the village for additional information and insights.

There are three options for parking on Cemetery Road.
1) The main parking is outside Sheddsville Cemetery, on the grass beside the road. Face in, if space allows. Karen will meet you there.
2) Another option for parking is at 873 Cemetery Road (also known as the former Harriet Hilts place), which is diagonally across the road from Cowshed Trail and partway down the hill to Sheddsville village. You can park on the circular driveway or even on the grass. Walk up the slight rise to the end of the cemetery and join Karen and the others there at 9:00.
3) Finally, if you are physically impaired and not able to walk the hill between the village center and the cemetery, park alongside the road at the junction of Cemetery and Sheddsville roads and Ann Danna will meet you there.

We encourage hats and water bottles, since we don't know what the weather will be like. You might even consider bug spray.
