On the Downtown Chatham History Walk, there will be stories about arson, haunted buildings, 200 years of floods on the Thames River, the Black Mecca, shipbuilding, the opera house, famous criminals and crimes, and more. The stories will be told while you are looking at the buildings and places where they happened.
To join the Walk, meet under the Centennial Clock, corner of King Street West & Fifth Street, just before 2 p.m. It's free and it will happen rain or shine.
The tour will include stories of buildings, streets, and customs that have disappeared. There are photos of them on theveranda.ca/presents, if you’d like to have a look. If you have a mobile device with you on the walk, you will be able to see the pictures of what they were like years ago as they are being talked about.
