Walking Tours of Dayton, Ohio: Downtown and Neighborhoods

dayton walking tour

I give walking tours of Downtown Dayton and surrounding neighborhoods that highlight history, architecture, and the progress of current redevelopment efforts.

I have been invited to give walking tours for Heritage Ohio, Preservation Dayton, Inc, the Downtown Dayton Partnership, the Dayton Arcade, and more.

I schedule that are open to the public but I am also available to create a customized tour for your company, event, or other private group.

I have created tours that cover multiple routes through different parts of downtown, as well as surrounding historic neighborhoods.

Each tour can be customized to highlight particular locations, industries, eras, or themes of interest to the specific audience.

Whenever possible I also arrange interior visits to some downtown buildings as part of the tour.

Reach out at any time to discuss a future walking tour:
