Spring means the return of public history tours by The Valentine. Attendees can explore the murals of Jackson Ward, uncover Church Hill’s past, trace the struggle for suffrage downtown, and more.

Over the summer, new neighborhood tours for Manchester, Scotts Addition, and Carytown will be added to the lineup.

The museum is also bringing back bus tours this season. The first one will take guests through historic cemeteries on Memorial Day.

Walking tour tickets are $20 for adults, $10 for members, and free for children 18 and under. Bus tours are $50 for non-members, $40 for members. See the full schedule.
