Eight people met at the Vera Estey House in Presque Isle on Saturday at 10 am for a historic walking tour of the city. Dressed in period costume, Kim Smith of the Presque Isle Historical Society led the tour. Blue skies and lots of sun made it a perfect day to take the 2 mile, two and one half hour tour. The tour was wonderful and I would recommend it to anyone with an interest in history. Kim made the walk interesting and shared fascinating facts that made history come alive.
Green plaques have been installed throughout the city designating historic locations. Self guided walking tour brochures are available at City Hall, the Chamber of Commerce, and available as a PDF on the Historical Society's website (www.pihistory.org).
If you are interested in taking the next guided walking tour of the city, contact the PI Historical Society at 762-1151 or email pihistoricalsociety@hotmail.com
