BRATTLEBORO-Brattleboro Sunrise Rotary has rebooted its walking history tour of Brattleboro, offering participants a journey through time while supporting a worthy cause. This fundraiser will take place on select Saturdays through 2024 at 11 a.m., with tours on April 27 and May 18, as well as summer and fall tours to be announced.
"This walking tour provides a wonderful opportunity for both residents and visitors alike to connect with the rich history of Brattleboro," Sandy Shriver, one of the Brattleboro Sunrise Rotary guides, said in a news release. "Not only will participants gain a deeper understanding of our town's past, but they'll also be supporting the important work of Brattleboro Sunrise Rotary in our community."
Led by knowledgeable local Rotarian guides, attendees will spend 90 minutes walking up Brattleboro's Main Street, delving into its fascinating history from its early beginnings to its present-day charm.
According to local guide Jonathan Secrest, "Even lifelong residents will learn many interesting things they didn't know about Brattleboro."
With about 10 stops at key historical landmarks, participants will discover the tales of Brattleboro's evolution. While older kids are welcome, this tour is designed for adults.
All proceeds from the walking history tour will directly benefit Brattleboro Sunrise Rotary's initiatives, which include supporting student scholarships, local projects and organizations dedicated to community development, education, and humanitarian efforts.
