ALL ARE INVITED! Longtime residents, neighbors, friends, families, newcomers, visitors from around the globe, students and alumni are encouraged to join us on tour as we honor, preserve and celebrate our unique college town – home of the first public University in America.
This program has been conceived & organized by Missy Julian-Fox and a group of wonderful, incredible volunteer tour leaders.
Tours have been designed by the individual guide to share pieces of our collective story and town spirit through history, lore and personal experience. Our walking tours typically last 60-90 minutes.
