Please note that we will walk approximately one mile over a 1.5-hour period, standing and stopping between various sites.

The tour will begin and end at the Museum. Participants should meet outside the Museum's main entrance on Washington Street approximately 15 minutes before tour time. Please wear comfortable walking shoes. We also encourage you to bring bottled water.
