Historic Downtown Burlington Walking Tour

      As regular readers of this post know, (OK, all three of you), I love history. So when we spotted a walking tour of our own local city, we jumped at it. We also recruited Sis and Bro-in Law to come along (Mike may love history even more them me !!). Saturday, 9/17, turned out to be a BEAUTIFUL fall day here in Vermont. Perfect for walking. The walk was sponsored by the Burlington Preservation Society and I knew we were in for a good time when our tour guide turned out to be Britta. She is the same tour guide we had last year for the Historic Waterfront Tour. A few pics from our walk;


      Burlington is a fascinating city and it's history well worth learning about. We had a great time hearing about some of the buildings and individuals that made this city into what it is today. And on top of it , the money goes to Preservation Burlington, a non-profit, helping preserve unique Burlington architecture. Look them up, and if you are in town when they are doing a tour, I highly recommend you take a walk with them. Just a few more pics;
