Lantern Tour: A Walk Through Time

  • Wilton Land Trust Chestnut Meadow 183 Ridgefield Road Wilton, CT, 06897 United States (map)

Join us this fall for a unique evening stroll through nature and history. Our Lantern Tour begins at dusk as we walk through the Wilton Land Trust’s beautiful Chestnut Meadow, guided by soft lantern light and the colors of autumn. The path will wind its way toward the historic Old Section of Hillside Cemetery, where stories from Wilton’s past come alive.

Along the way, we’ll stop at the gravestones of Revolutionary War patriots, founding families, and memorable characters who helped shape the town we know today. It’s a chance to reflect, learn, and connect with Wilton’s deep roots under the stars.

We'll finish the evening with hot cider and donuts, shared among neighbors and new friends. Please bring a flashlight and wear sturdy walking shoes.
