Who's ready for a trip down memory lane? ✨🚌✨
On Sunday, September 7, we will be holding a revamped version of our local history bus tour, which is now titled Then and Now: Historical Bus Tours! For this year's tour, Dr. Michael Farrow will guide guests through an in-depth exploration of the Columbia Park, Mansion Park, and Knickerbocker development areas. Throughout this fascinating journey, Dr. Farrow will provide information on historical buildings, landmarks, events, and more!
Because these bus tours have been growing in popularity year after year, we decided to double the fun and set up TWO bus tour time slots this season! What's more, in a move you don't often see these days, we have LOWERED ticket prices for guests!
Both bus tours take place on Sunday, September 7, with the first tour starting at 1:00 PM and the second tour starting at 3:30 PM that day. Each tour has a max capacity of 25 guests, and the bus will leave from the Baker Mansion each time. Tickets are $35.00 per guest, and this covers both admission and a complimentary tour brochure.
Tickets are available now on our website at www.blairhistory.org/events. Alternatively, you can give us a call at 814-942-3916 to purchase your tickets via cash, check, or card. Our bus tours have sold out quickly in the past, so don't delay and buy your tickets today!
