[Durham INC] Neighborhoods Hike is Sun, Oct 27, 10AM at 9th & Green (Save the Date)

[John Schelp]

 Who wrote the song, "Tobacco Road" and was born behind Monuts? Where did Madonna take early dance lessons? What's buried under Duke Hospital? Where was the indigenous village of Adshusheer? Who lived on the hilltops and who lived in the creek bottoms? Where were Durham's three municipal incinerators located? Who saved Trinity College from bankruptcy? Where was Kevin Costner spotted in his boxer shorts? 

Come along and find out. Sunday, Oct 27 at 10AM. 2-3 hour walking tour starts at Ninth & Green, across from White Star. 
Local street historian John Schelp will join us as we walk through Old West, Watts-Hillandale and Walltown. Co-hosted by the Museum of Durham History, Preservation Durham and the Sierra Club. 
No dogs please (over 200 hikers last time). Parking on nearby streets. Peel off anytime. 
Free, no registration needed. (Hikers are encouraged to donate to a nonprofit helping with recovery in WNC.)
