UNFORTUNATLY THESE BOXES WENT MIA.
THANX TO ALL THOSE WHO WERE LUCKY ENOUGH TO GET THEM. THEY ARE NOT GOING TO BE REPLANTED DUE TO CONTINOUS THEFT.

Directions:
I guess the starting point for directions will be the "Frog" Bridge seeing that almost everyone that comes to willimantic knows where that is. If you are coming over the bridge from Rte 32 take a right at the bottom of the bridge. You will see the Windham Mill buildings on your right. You are going to pass the park and pull into the parking lot.

Clues:
Once you have parked walk back out of the parking lot and up main st to Heritage Park.
At the corner of where the sidewalk and the park meet face across main street. From here you can see the Windham Textile Museum and the Victorian Rose Mill Cafe.
Turning back to face the brick road you will spot the GIGANTIC square planter with the Willimantic garden clubs sign in it. From this planter count 7 planters on the left just like it.
Once you are at the 7th planter go through the archway and over the bridge. enjoy the view of the Swift Water. Walk up the hill following the brick road to the twin benches. This is a great spot for a picnic. Sit in the bench that is farthest up the hill. Looking at the railroad tracks find where the tracks meet the stone wall to the right. from under the tracks walk 12 paces onto the rocks. Look up into the corner of the tracks and feel around. In the corner you will find a Silver Rose.
After you have stamped return to the brick road and head back to the bridge. When you are at the peak of the bridge stand between the two benches and look out over the waterfall. Once you are done checking out the waterfall take a look to the left and in the flower bed you will see a couple of rocks. under the rocks you will find a butterfly.

I hope you enjoyed this walk, it's beautiful on a sunny day.
