Announcing the 12th Season of its award-winning Take a Hike® historic walking tours July 1 through Oct. 31, 2020. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, for the health and safety of participants, this year’s tours will be available online as self-guided, interactive experiences. HGNC is proud to announce the twelve unique tours offered include four themes – Tremont, North Coast Harbor, Grand Department Stores, and Historic Hotels.
As in previous seasons, participants embark on an exciting journey through Cleveland’s vibrant neighborhoods, cultural sites, and legacy architecture. Instead of scheduled tour times, the self-guided tours can be taken at any time with three different tour options available monthly. Participants explore Cleveland with an interactive map, listen to professional audio narrations, and watch companion videos of notable figures from Cleveland’s past portrayed by professional actors and actresses. Tours will be available beginning July 1st by visiting TakeAHikeCLE.com.
“We’re thrilled to offer a safe and healthy way to bring Cleveland history to life during our 12th season,” said Tom Yablonsky, Executive Director, HGNC. “We hope this digital on-demand format allows us to reach a wider audience and we look forward to continuing our traditional in-person tour experience in 2021.”
