Learn about the architectural and historical significance of the nine local landmarks on that street.

Main, Wisconsin, & Brodhead Landmarks Walking Tour

1-2:30 PM 

Learn about the architectural and historical significance of the properties that have been designated local landmarks, the people that were connected to the properties and the importance and value of historic properties to a community's distinctive character. 

 

Please keep in mind that these signs are on private property, and we need to respect the homeowner's land accordingly.  Please wear appropriate walking attire and shoes! Tours begin at E.D. Locke Public Library. 

 

Registration is required for both walks and opens September 12.
