Step into the magic of autumn with the Borough of Wyomissing’s Fall Walk Series—where vibrant foliage, crisp air, and rich history create a seasonal celebration like no other.
This year, we’re introducing something new: "A Walk with the Welshman." Before the Thun and Janssen era of mills and manufacturing, Wyomissing was first settled by Welsh and German immigrants. Their legacy still lingers in the names of neighboring communities and hidden stories of the land. On each walk date, you’ll have the option to join a guided tour at 10:00 AM and discover this early chapter of Wyomissing’s history in a way you’ve never experienced before.
Along the way, you’ll uncover Wyomissing’s fascinating past:
Hear the echoing mystery of Old Man Echo
Imagine life on the once-bustling Lutz’s Farm
Learn about the industrious work at Rieth’s Gristmill
Wander scenic trails like Old Wyomissing Road and the glowing Golden Meadow
But the Fall Walk Series is more than just a walk—it’s a chance to connect with nature, neighbors, and the heartbeat of our community.
Where: Goodman Barn - starting point
When: Sundays at 10:00 AM
Support: We’ll be collecting non-perishable food donations for Helping Harvest Food Bank and contributions for the Wyomissing Recreation Department to keep programs like this thriving.
Whether you’re a nature enthusiast, a history buff, or just looking for a relaxing stroll through the Parklands, the Fall Walk Series has something for everyone. Breathe in the crisp autumn air, enjoy the brilliant colors of the season, and take a step into Wyomissing’s past—one walk at a time.
WALK DATE:
Sunday, September 28th
Sunday, October 12th

Mark your calendar, bring a friend, and don’t forget a donation for Helping Harvest. See you on the trail!
