A former resident of Lexington and abutter to the Minuteman Bikeway has written a childrens' book titled Rail Trail Alphabet Adventures. Carolyn Siccama was inspired to create the book as a way to depict the sights, sounds and adventures that she and her young daughter had along the Minuteman Bikeway. Carolyn is going to donate 50% of the proceeds from the sale of Rail Trail Alphabet Adventures to Rails to Trails Conservancy.
