Tour de Carbondale

This sounds pretty cool if you're available the evening of the 26th:

The Preservation Commission of the City of Carbondale will be hosting a tour of historic properties located in the northwest and central areas of Carbondale. The tour will provide an opportunity for citizens to become better acquainted with some of the City’s most historically interesting and architecturally significant homes, buildings and places. Highlights include recent additions to the Carbondale Register of Historic Places, Hickory Lodge and the Varsity Center for the Arts, as well as the Hundley house, the National Guard Armory and several other buildings. Information will be made available on the benefits of designating properties to the National and Local Registers as well as the other historic sites and tours available to the public.

The tour will be on Monday, April 26th, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.. Boarding will begin at 5:45 p.m. at the Carbondale Civic Center/City Hall located at 200 S. Illinois Avenue.

There is no charge for the tour and seating on the bus is limited. For more information or to reserve your seat, contact the Planning Services Division at 457-3248.
