WESTFIELD – Carmel Steger, president of the Friends of the Columbia Greenway Rail Trail met up with local author Robert Madison at the Westfield Technical Academy library last week to present a copy of his book to the school.
Madison, who lives in Feeding Hills, is the author of “The New Haven and Northampton Canal Greenway: Bike and Rail Trails Following the Historic Canal”, a rails-to-trails book whose roots originated from the longest canal system in New England. The book was published in 2016, and a copy is now in the library of every school in Westfield, thanks to the Friends of the Columbia Greenway Rail Trail.
