WESTFIELD RIVER NEARLY-WINTER UGLY SWEATER WALK

Don those ugly Christmas/ holiday sweaters and come along with us for a fun, free and informative walk along the Westfield River Esplanade. Professor Nicholas Aieta, Department Chair of History and Philosophy at Westfield State University, will share some of the City’s unique history during the hour-long walk. The walk will begin and end at the Westfield Whip Manufacturing Company. After the walk, participants have the rare opportunity to visit a portion of the Westfield Whip Factory, built in
1886 and is the last surviving whip factory in Westfield
that is still producing whips. Carol Martin, founder of Westfield Historic Industries Preservation Project (WHIPP), now a part of Westfield Museum Inc., will be on hand to answer questions afterwards. we’ll be serving cocoa, coffee, and cookies afterwards. We’d love to have you and your friends join us!
