SCUDDER, RAYMOND AND THE PILGRIM STREETS WALKING TOURS:
JULY 10, 12, AND 15
As the St. Anthony Park Company got started in the mid-1880s, they scattered their first homes around their neighborhood. Even though the railroad tracks cut through this new suburban community, the company made use of all areas in their development. We’ll be looking at the section just north of the tracks, spread on either side of Raymond Avenue. This is where the oldest homes still stand, now mixed with houses, townhomes, and apartment buildings from the 20th and 21st centuries.
The tour starts at the corner of Scudder and Gordon and it concludes near Alden Square. This route is approximately eight blocks long.
Reservations are required. Tours are limited to about 30 participants.
There is a suggested minimum donation of $10 per person, collected at the time of the tour, to help cover tour costs. I will accept cash and checks.
Bring your own earbuds (standard audio jack only) or pick up a colorful (and reusable!) set from me for $1.00. Dress for the weather: don’t forget sunscreen, your water bottle, and whatever conditions demand--an umbrella, a hat, a jacket.
Tours will run showers or shine--unless the rain is heavy, includes lightning and thunder, hail, high winds, or tornadoes. Every effort will be made to reschedule a postponed tour within a day or two, and/or to accommodate people on an upcoming tour on the same topic. Cancelation or postponement decisions will be made approximately one hour before the tour. They will be announced at this webpage and through emails to registered participants.
