Walking Tour-Washington Square Neighborhood
Washington Square is one of the oldest neighborhoods on Rochester’s east side. The area serves as something of a crash course on the city’s history. Here, one finds echoes of Rochester’s early years as a milling village, its Erie Canal boomtown days, and its rise as a site of technological innovation. The neighborhood also highlights Rochester’s cultural contributions, social justice activism, and capacity for reinvention. Meet on the north side of the Rundel Memorial Building for this .83-mile tour.
*In case of inclement weather, tour may be canceled
Registration is strongly recommended but not required.
Presented by the Local History & Genealogy Division of the Central Library of Rochester and Monroe County and sponsored by Fleet Feet.
