Trent Valley Archives is hosting four Friday evening history walks this month – two in Peterborough’s downtown core and the two in Little Lake Cemetery.
On July 10th and 24th, researcher Madison More will relate stories about historic crimes committed in the downtown core. The tour will begin at 7 p.m. from the cenotaph in Confederation Park.
On July 17th and 31st, Mona Wilkes will share the fascinating life stories of some of the many buried at historic Little Lake Cemetery. The tour will begin at 7 p.m. at the Little Lake Cemetery Chapel.
More says her walking tour covers a range of crimes, including the fatal 1970 shooting of Grand Hotel owner Murray Green.
Noting the evening history walks have proven to be a popular summer activity for many, More says there’s a reason for that.
More says sharing her research with others is the highlight for her.
Tickets for either walk cost $20 and must be purchased in advance www.trentvalleyarchives.com/events. The walks will be held rain or shine, and participants are asked to wear comfortable shoes.
