Hidden along a section of the Winchester Green Circle Trail in a little area that has a couple of benches. Log included but no room for pen so please bring one! Please return it in the exact location you found it. Thank you. Happy Hunting.
The Winchester Green Circle is a walking and bicycling path designed to connect neighborhoods and points of interest in the City of Winchester. This area in particular is part of the Black History of Winchester. Ruth's Tea Room (formerly located at the corner of E. Cecil and S. Kent Streets) was named for the original owner, Ruth E.P. Jackson. It opened in 1925 and was managed by Ruth until her death in 1953.
The Winchester Green Circle project, when completed, will provide safe facilities and accommodations for both bicyclists and pedestrians, to access major destinations in the city.
The circle connects areas of historic, recreational, educational and natural interest. Some of those attractions include Glen Burnie Historic House & Gardens/Museum of the Shenandoah Valley, Jim Barnett Park, Shenandoah University, Old Town Winchester, and the Abrams Creek Wetlands Preserve. The planned 7-to-8-mile route includes Wilkins Lake, Shenandoah University, the Apple Blossom Mall, Abrams Creek Wetlands Preserve, Museum of the Shenandoah Valley, Winchester Medical Center, Old Town Winchester, Shawnee Springs Preserve and Jim Barnett Park.
Where possible the routes follow local streams emphasizing the restoration, protection and interpretation of natural resources and urban green spaces.
