This guided walk, led by members of the Broadway Historic District Association, will feature several historic homes along both 20th and 22nd Streets, as well as a stop at the Karpeles Manuscript Library Museum for a quick break and refreshments. The walk will be approximately one mile in length along fairly flat terrain, so please wear comfortable shoes for this tour!
