RoxYunk Stairs Walk
2024-11-09 09:30 - 13:00 | PA
The Manayunk Stairs are America’s first public transit system. People powered, they were created by mill workers to create a direct path from their rowhomes on the hill to factories along Main Street, the Canal, and the Schuylkill,
Join us for an epic journey through time and space as we recount the history of the neighborhood, highlight the topography, and recount our memories of the stairs.
Meet at 9:30 ish at the Pretzel Park Farmers Market by the playground (but stay out of the way of Market set up because Dave gets grouchy). We walk at 10. It’s about 5 miles and 3 hours. Come for as much of it as you want. Dress for the weather.
Since we end up at the Pretzel Park Farmer’s Marker, bring a few bucks along to stock up on Melvin’s amazing produce and the other weekly delights. I suggest shopping bags.
More info here.
Here’s a map of the walk. It’s from a prior walk but we are still on the same route.
