The
mission of the Friends of Saxonville, Inc., is to educate the
public about the special identity of Saxonville, an historic neighborhood
of Framingham, Massachusetts, and to preserve, enhance, and protect
its cultural, environmental, and historical qualities.
Constructed
by the Friends of Saxonville, this scenic walking trail was
named in honor of the late Carol J. Getchell, one of the founders
of the Friends and the original proponent for the trail's
creation. It runs for one mile alongside the Sudbury River
in Saxonville, beginning next to the Danforth Street Bridge,
and ending at Little Farms Road.
Maintenance
of the trail is done on a volunteer basis through our Adopt-The-Trail
program.
