Architecture on the Go!
Our popular Architecture for Lunch program is switching it up with an expanded tour area, an alternative time option, and a new name. Tyler Lucero will once again be leading the tours, and he has put together a great cross-section of Rochester neighborhoods in eight short walking tours of about 45 minutes each during June and July. The June tours start at 6:30pm and the July tours at 1:30pm. As an extra bonus, three of the four July tours immediately follow the Eastman at St. Joseph’s Park concerts, so you can enjoy a concert and a walking tour in under two hours. See below for schedule and locations.
Thanks to the Daisy Marquis Jones foundation for funding Architecture on the Go! and allowing us to expand the reach of these educational and fun walking tours.
