Walking tips

Take your time between the stops.

Allow 2–3 hours

That gives you time to read displays, visit the museums when open and enjoy the parks.

Check hours first

Indoor attractions have individual schedules. Outdoor landmarks are easier to enjoy throughout the day.

Wear comfortable shoes

The route uses downtown sidewalks and includes crossings between Maple Avenue, Main Street and the riverfront.
