Program Description

Event Details

Join us on Wednesday, September 20th, for a walking tour of the Broadway Historic District in Downtown Rock Island! This guided walk, led by members of the Broadway Historic District Association, will feature several historic homes along 23rd Street. The walk will be approximately one mile in length along fairly flat terrain, so please wear comfortable shoes for this event!

Please note that registration is required for this program and that we will be gathering at the Karpeles Manuscript Library Museum parking lot (700 22nd Street) for the start of the tour. We will also have some light refreshments available after the walk at the museum.
