Guided Brattleboro History Walking Tour
Things to know
About the Activity
Designed as a fundraiser, volunteers from the Brattleboro Sunrise Rotary Club have created a fabulous walking history tour of downtown Brattleboro. A great introduction to Brattleboro, Vermont's illustrious history, tours walk from one end of Main Street to the other (approximately 7/10 of a mile). There are about 7 stops along the way where we talk about Brattleboro's history and culture. The tour will last approximately 1.5 hours and includes a private tour of the unique Latchis Theater. Kids are welcome, but the tour is designed for adults. Funds raised go towards the Brattleboro Sunrise Rotary Club's various scholarships and charitable projects that support our local community. Tours take place mainly outdoors on select Saturdays, so may be cancelled for severe weather.1 hour 30 minutes
