Clues: Fanny's Footsteps

Park your car at the Dagget Farm.
Follow the paved path to the left of the barn.
Cross the street, take the path to the right.
Is this Providence on Waterfire Night?

Turn left at the J C Potter Casino. Trade your chips for a pallet and brush.
Keeping the pond on your left as you walk, enjoy the view and the ducks.
Left at the Y. Cross the stone arch.
Go right and then fast left you will march.

Trip trap, trip trap, trip trap
Pray no trolls be under this lap.
Keep on past a cobble stone star,
But go slowly because it's not far.

Pass on the stairs climbing on up the hill,
Instead choose an old stone bridge and you will
Spy a smallish white birch amongst the trees
That lines up with a white pine at 300 degrees.

Here your quest ends at the pine that you see.
Step to the north side. What could it be?
A surprise for you and a sweet memory
Of my hometown, that squalid old city that cradled me.
