The tour covered by this brochure starts at the Market Square Building going south on Main Street, down Old Main Street to the Gebhart Tavern. Then east on Lock Street over the old Miami Erie Canal, past the Peerless Mill Inn in the old Hoover-Gamble complex, north on Third Street to Linden Avenue. Then past the home of Dr. John Treon and the Trinity United Church of Christ, north on Second Street to Central Avenue and west back to Market Square.

The tour brochure gives historical information about buildings and homes along the route. Many of the buildings have been illustrated by society member and gifted artist, Johanna Upton.

The Walking Tour Committee consisting of George and Marcia Dunahue, Phil and Nancy Johnson, Ross and Betty Morris, and Everett and Bobbye Sweny researched information for the brochure.

Chuck Sweny provided the layout of the brochure, which has been dedicated to the memory of George Dunahue. Our sincere thanks go to Babcock and Wilcox who provided the funds to cover the cost of printing.

The brochure was designed specifically for visitors to our city who would like to learn something about our history; however, local residents might also enjoy taking the tour to reacquaint themselves with our rich heritage.

Brochures are available at the Market Square Building.
