Between the rain showers, now is a perfect time to go on a historic walking tour. Due to the fact that many trees are not quite in full foliage, you will get a better overall view of buildings that won’t be obstructed by leaves.
We have some great brochures in the Vistor’s Center that offer you three options. The Atomic Ranch neighborhood walking tour guides you step-by-step of ranch-style houses in Corvallis, which where popular in the western US from the postwar period through the 1970s. This tour has been designed to take approximately an hour or less.
The Franklin Square walking tour represents several decades of architectural design, and is also designed to be finished within an hour or so.
The other walking tour, the Downtown Corvallis Walking and Shopping tour, will give you a taste of Downtown Corvallis history.
So strap on your tennis shoes, take an umbrella and a friend and head over to the Visitor’s Center on 553 NW Harrison to grab some walking tour brochures and get a taste of Corvallis history.
