Details

Discover the history of Armory Park, just south of Broadway and east of Stone, where development began with the railroad’s arrival in 1880. This 2-hour, 0.5-mile tour explores the exteriors of historic public buildings–no private homes–including the Blenman Inn, Carnegie Free Library, Scottish Rite Cathedral, Safford School, Willard Hotel, and the Temple of Music and Art. You’ll also learn about notable figures like Charles River Drake, Charles Blenman, Isabella Greenway, Mattie Dreyfus Heineman, and architects Henry C. Trost and A. G. Rockfellow. Pre-registration is required.

Begins and ends across from the Blenman Inn, 204 S. Scott Ave
