The tour provides information on 43 buildings,
some of them long gone, and covers about half a mile of walking and will take about an hour and a half. A walking tour booklet is
available from the Museum of Local History website, under the
"Published Documents" section.

Hard copies of the tour
guide will be available at the tour for $3. The walking tour itself
is free.
