During the Summer 2008, The Evansville Grove Society will host guided walking tours of a small
section of the Evansville Historic District. Tours will be offered on seven consecutive Saturdays in
July & August. The first tour will be on Saturday, July 12th. The final tour will be on Saturday,
August 23rd.
Tours will begin & end at the Eager Free Public Library, 39 West Main Street, starting promptly at 10:
00 a.m. & finishing approximately 60-90 minutes later. The total distance walked will be less than
one mile. Historic buildings will be viewed from the sidewalk & terrace only. There will be no actual
entry to any structures.
Reservations are not required. Simply show up at the designated starting point & look around or
ask in the library for the tour guide. Guides will make an effort to appear obvious. All inaugural
season tours are free of charge.
Severe or dangerous weather may result in tour cancellation. Otherwise tours will be conducted
rain or shine. Mosquitoes are currently an issue and long pants & sleeves and/or insect repellent
are advised.
At tour’s end, participants will be invited to patronize one of our local eateries. Copies of Historic
Evansville – A Walker’s Guide will be available for distribution to those who may wish to consider a
self guided tour of Evansville’s many other historic properties at some later point in time. Tour
guides will also be able to provide information on various websites & library resources.
