Oct18 Hunter’s Park Historic Walking Tour

Free & Open to the Public

There’s history around nearly every corner in Hunter’s Park—and we’re going to head out and explore it.

Join the Duluth Preservation Alliance’s Board Director, Bob Berg—and DPA Member, Mark Harvey—for a free guided walking tour through Hunter’s Park, one of Duluth’s distinctive historic neighborhoods. 

Settled by Scottish immigrants in the late 1800s, Hunter’s Park is filled with stories of early Duluth, beautiful architecture and reminders of the city’s streetcar era.

Meet at 2pm to begin the tour at Glen Avon Presbyterian Church, with a look inside this historic neighborhood landmark. You may also park here for the afternoon.

Step inside the former Washburn Elementary School for a special tour of the former school.

See the 1891 Motor Line trolley station and three 125+ year-old historic homes—the S.P. Morterud, Ronald M. Hunter and William J. McCabe homes. Homeowners will meet the group outside to share each home’s history, completed renovations and plans for the future.

Enjoy a brief walk through the woods along the Tischer Creek.
