Céad Míle Fáilte to Summer Festivities Along the South Shore Heritage Trail

    There’s nothing like a bustling harbor, the beat of music from a nearby bandstand and the aromas of fresh  seafood from a food truck to send the signal that it’s time to hit the Trail and enjoy Summer! The nine communities, from Weymouth to Plymouth, of the South Shore Heritage Trail offer plenty of seaside spaces for walks and picnics, historic houses, cemeteries and memorials for reflecting on the sacrifices made by those who fought for independence and justice, as well as museums and libraries for growing your curiosity about family trees, the lore, arts, and history of Irish immigrants and their descendants.  Like many who stopped by the Trail’s table at the seasonal celebration of Scituate’s Opening of the Harbor on Friday night, you will meet travelers to and from Ireland, reconnect with family friends, share stories of Irish traditions with curious younger generations, and linger over favorite memories of Irish ancestors. Plan your itinerary by using the travel guides to theTrail Route.
