Once a year, The Trustees of Reservations leads a hike through the property known as The Brickyard— conservation restricted land that lies in between Menemsha Hills and Great Rock Bight which was once the site of a functioning brick works industry.
Last Sunday Molly Peach, TTOR Islands Educator, led hikers from the historic Harris property down to the Brickyard where the old chimney still stands and where bricks are scattered along the shore.
