“We’re always excited to bring new stories to life through our Take a Hike ® experiences. The Historic Euclid Avenue tour combines the best of our summer Gateway District and Playhouse Square tours and the Early Cleveland tour introduces participants to a new narrative about the Old River Road Historic District in The Flats, significant to Cleveland’s prominent rise in shipbuilding and maritime history.”
