Regarding FWW parking, we spent quite a bit of time thinking about, writing and editing the following section of the FWW article in the current Newsletter:
Parking. On Saturday and Sunday, we will be operating public trains, including Pumpkin Trains in conjunction with SeaLyon Farm at Top of the Mountain. During these two days, we encourage volunteers to park in the marked field by the corner of Route 218 and Cross Road to allow the public to park near the station. Friday and Monday, parking directly on the Sheepscot museum campus is welcome.
Unless asked otherwise, please do not park in the area of Trout Brook. We do not want to impact the Midcoast Conservancy’s Trout Brook Preserve parking lot or block right-of-way access at Route 218. Please take the volunteer trains from Sheepscot.
Since the article was written, much work has been completed on the new west lot at Sheepscot, so it is now an option for volunteers Saturday & Sunday during Pumpkin trains, in addition to the lot at the corner of Cross Road and Route 218.
