Tour Overview
Stately Homes and Captains of Industry
Hello, and welcome back! Tour #4 begins at the corner of Elm and School Streets. The complete loop from this point is about a mile in length. The stops are widely spread out on this one, so it’s a great option if you’d like to take an extended walk – or even a bike ride - without as much description. It ends at the Unitarian Church on Main Street, where Tour #3 picks up. I will let you know toward the end when we are rejoining the area that’s covered in that tour, so you won’t miss anything.
From this point we are going to start walking up Elm Street. You can choose either side of it, but our first stop will be a few blocks up at the city’s oldest cemetery, which is on the right-hand side of the street.
