City of Lynn Participates in Trails and Sails Anniversary Event

Trails and Sails is an event series of 10 days of FREE events supported by Essex National Heritage Area and sponsors that make Trails and Sails possible. The 100+ free events across Essex County are to bring awareness and appreciation for heritage resources around the county. The ‘trails’ to hence guided hikes, and ‘sails’ to include water excursions, has grown over the years to include tours of historic houses, lectures on Essex County history, walking tours of neighborhoods and demonstrations of cultural activities. This year, Trails and Sails is celebrating its 20th Anniversary, and the organizations participating in this year’s activities have organized some of the most unique and exciting events yet.

The city of Lynn is also participating in these festivities and has reserved the best for this week.
