July TalkWALK Community Walk - Historic Winchester

Join us in July for a TalkWALK-style celebration of Winchester's long history. We'll be taking a pleasant stroll through our historic downtown via a route that features several VA250 sites. Our guests represent the past, present and future of our city, and have a wealth of knowledge and perspective to share as we stroll. Please keep in mind: while the theme of this walk centers around Winchester's history, this walk is NOT A HISTORY TOUR. Like all of our walks, this walk is a community walk, meant to facilitate community connection and a deeper understanding of our city's physical space.
Featured Guests:
Les Veach: Mayor, Winchester City
Becky Ebert: Director, Win-Fred VA250 Committee
Cissy Shull: Executive Director, Win-Fred Historical Society
Ben Ford: President, Preservation of Historic Winchester
Jill Savory: Owner, Typewriter Studio
Nancy Campbell: Candidate, Council Ward 1
Kylie Zoller: Candidate, School Board At-Large

What's a TalkWALK?
TalkWALK Community Walks are held in a different Winchester neighborhood each month and feature a variety of invited guests, including longtime residents, city employees, elected officials, community leaders, small business owners, local historians, artists, naturalists, experts, and enthusiasts.
Each month we'll meet up in a different neighborhood and walk with these invited guests, who will be available to chat and share insights as we explore.
Walks are ~3 miles, typically starting/ending at a park, school, or other community space, with a midpoint return option for those who prefer a shorter route.
Let’s explore Winchester, learn something new, exchange ideas, enjoy good company, and get fresh air together. Come walk with us!
