While our historical lectures are typically free, this walking tour includes an in-depth, guided experience with limited capacity.
About the Tour
Selby Avenue has an incredible history—as a business street, a residential avenue, and a key transportation corridor. On this 12-block walk from Selby & Western to Selby & Dale, Dr. Anderson will highlight the street’s commercial past as seen through its buildings and architecture.
Meet on the South Eastern corner of Selby & Western in front of W.A. Frost.
Please note: This is a one-way tour, not a loop.
