Featured Walking Tour
Stories Along the Lane
Eight lives. Eight stories. One community.
Beginning at the Receiving Vault, this first Shady Lane tour travels through Lower Pine, Spruce and Clover, including the early Clover section in the woods, before returning to the vault.
The people featured here were not chosen because they were famous. They were ordinary people of their time whose lives, families, service, work and tragedies became part of the history of our community.
