Durango Friends of the Arts members will lead historic walking tours each Wednesday in July.
As you stroll up Main Avenue and back down historic Third Avenue, with its many Victorian homes, you will learn about Durango’s wild and colorful history. Tours are intended for locals and tourists alike.
Tours leave promptly at 10 a.m. from the Durango Welcome Center, 802 Main Ave. The tour will finish at the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad museum. Participants should arrive a bit early. Tour dates are July 6, July 13, July 20 and July 27. Tickets are $10, and all proceeds benefit Durango Friends of the Arts.
