Historic Preservation Commission to Host Twilight Walking Tour September 18
(Columbia, MO) - Which downtown house of worship has a streetscape feel between its sanctuary and its education building? Complete with replica gas lamps? And a ghost sign on the south side of its most recently acquired ancillary structure?
Please join the Historic Preservation Commission this Thursday evening at 7:00 PM to learn more about Columbia's historic Places of Worship, and how they fit into the historical narrative and urban fabric of Downtown Columbia. The walking tour will be led by an architect well-versed in ecclesiastical architecture. The walking tour will focus on events, architecture, people, places, the evolution of building practices and materials, and more.
This event is free and open to the public (and is family-friendly). No registration is required.
Participants will meet at the City Hall Key Sculpture (corner of 8th & Broadway/701 E. Broadway).
Tours will begin promptly at 7:00 PM. Participants are advised to wear comfortable shoes and clothing.
For special accommodations, please contact Rachel Bacon at 573.874.7239 or rib...@gocolumbiamo.com
