Southbury Rochambeau Traverse – The Southbury Land Trust in cooperation with the Southbury America 250th Commission is planning a walk/traverse of the Town of Southbury, starting near the Woodbury town line and trekking across Southbury all the way to the Housatonic River crossing with bordering Newtown. The walk is to commemorate the trip that Cmte de Rochambeau and his 5000 French troops took during the American Revolution nearly 250 years ago. This one-way 6-mile adventure, which can be done in smaller parts for those that choose to do so, will include several stops along the way with short history talks and transportation options for a return to the starting location. This event will take place on Saturday, June 6th 2026 with a rain date of Sunday, June 7th 2026. June 6th and 7th is Connecticut Trails Day weekend.
