Learn about many aspects of Chillicothe’s working class German neighborhood named after the residents’ floating livestock. You’ll see and hear about workers’ cottages with scherenschnitte attic vents, a Romanesque farmer’s castle… canal and railroad super highways, Camp Bull and Camp Sherman, a carriage factory and an 1890s scandal-sheet newspaper… Worthington’s Addition and Franklinton Pike… Limestone Road, Wharf Street, Angle Alley, Camp Sherman Road… potted chrysanthemums to State Forests… and more!
The walking tour from 2:00 to about 4:00 starts and ends at Springdale Garden Center; arrive at 1:45 for additional interpretation. The tour is limited in space and can only practically accommodate 25. Tour will be on level sidewalks and a few alleys, crossing several streets.
Tickets are $12.00 in advance / $15.00 at the door (1/2 price for children). Advanced tickets can be purchased at the Visitors Bureau at 45 E. Main Street.
If weather is inclement (a hard rain or worse, or very cold) Kevin will notify ticketholders with rescheduled date.
