STORY WALK AT GORE PLACE
|
Gore Place has partnered with the Coordinated Family and Community Engagement (CFCE) grant-funded program administered by the Watertown public schools to re-introduce the Story Trail back to the property!
Moving from page to page, visitors can read a book from cover to cover while enjoying spending time outdoors! StoryWalks are a win-win for everyone. Families play outside together, having fun and creating memories. Children build school-readiness skills, families connect to and feel ownership of their community, and everyone experiences fresh air and physical movement! Books chosen are dual language or also known as bi-lingual books (Spanish) and will coincide with the curriculum and units at CFCE, with a limited amount of take-home STEM activities available alongside the Story Trail for children to enjoy. Directions: Gore Place is located at 52 Gore Street in Waltham, Massachusetts just off Route 20. From I-90 (Mass Pike) take exit 17 to Watertown Square. Turn left onto Route 20 (Main Street). Travel 1~1/4 miles to Gore Street.
