Timeline

  1. 15:23

    Troy City Brewing

    Start with a cold brew and a chat. Troy City Brewing is a warm, welcoming nanobrewery just a short walk from the museum. Try the flagship Troy German Pilsner or the Anawan Street APA while you plan the rest of the evening.

  2. 16:08

    Fall River Heritage State Park

    Walk ten minutes west to Fall River Heritage State Park. This 8.5-acre stretch along the Taunton River offers a quiet, relaxing path. It overlooks Battleship Cove, giving you a dramatic backdrop of steel and water as the afternoon light begins to soften.

  3. 16:38

    Fall River Heritage State Park

    Stay put for the sunset. The park faces west-south-west, aligning perfectly with the sun’s descent on January 15th. Find a bench or a spot on the grass to watch the light fade over the river and the battleship.

  4. 17:23

    Tequila Lime Cantina

    End the night with a late bite. Head back toward the museum area to Tequila Lime Cantina. The Tex-Mex fare and homemade tortilla chips provide a hearty finish to the evening.

Local tip

The walk from the brewery to the park is short and flat. If it is raining, the brewery has a cobblestone outdoor patio that can still be enjoyed if the weather is mild, but the park view is best in clear skies.
